Case Study: GKN Driveline achieves 15% reduction in appraisal administrative time and unified global performance management with SumTotal Systems

GKN Driveline - Customer Case Study

GKN, a global engineering group supplying the automotive and aerospace industries with highly engineered products and employing roughly 56,100 people across more than 30 countries, faced inefficient learning and development and disconnected performance processes. A dispersed workforce and an HR strategy that didn’t link employee goals to corporate objectives left performance management and development fragmented and time-consuming.

GKN deployed SumTotal’s Talent Expansion applications in 10 languages to align employee activity with business goals, streamline global rewards, and identify and retain top talent. The implementation cut administrative time on the appraisal process by 15%, enabled consistent measurement of performance and development across the organization, and leveraged workforce analytics to improve decision making.
