Over the past years, CL Grupo Industrial has been experiencing what Talent Corporate Manager Laura Sanchez calls ¡°exponential growth, to the point where we now have around 3,000 employees across our 6 divisions.¡±
This has brought the business both opportunities and challenges, not least the need to exploit the competitive advantage offered by such growth through offering high-quality professional opportunities to new and existing colleagues across the business.
Taming the challenges of exponential growth
¡°We didn¡¯t have the right system ¨C there was no management tool that would help us go on the growth journey with our colleagues, to help them develop with the business and grasp the opportunities of growth,¡± Sanchez says. ¡°At the process level, too, our systems were poorly standardised, they weren¡¯t interconnected and our data was in different places, making it very hard to access for decision-making.¡±
After some research, CL Grupo Industrial chose ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ as the solution to these challenges. ¡°We saw that it was founded on a basic pre-configuration of processes, all based on best market practices ¨C and this fitted us like a glove,¡± Sanchez says. ¡°Now, we understand that ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ is the catalyst that will allow us to make all the cultural changes we need, creating a company that¡¯s focused on people by providing all the data needed for good team management.¡±
²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ gives insight into what people¡¯s concerns really are, what we need to do to retain their loyalty, and how we can best grow together with our people.

Freeing HR to focus on what really matters
Sanchez is very clear about the aspects of ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ that bring the most value to CL Grupo Industrial. ¡°I like its power at the data-analytics level, and I like the role of AI embedded in the tool to personalise the user experience and add to its usability,¡± Sanchez says.
These properties enable ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ to convert the company¡¯s HR function into what Sanchez calls ¡°an engine of that sustainable, exponential growth we¡¯re experiencing.¡±
¡°²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ does this by connecting all the processes needed to give 360-degree visibility of the employee lifecycle and so give insight into what people¡¯s concerns really are, what we need to do to retain their loyalty and how we can best grow together with our people,¡± Sanchez says.
That¡¯s not all. ¡°It is also a very powerful way of helping our managers get the best out of their teams, as well as exponentially decreasing all those administrative tasks and duties that can so often clog up the HR department,¡± Sanchez continues.
Delivering a powerful market advantage
Sanchez¡¯s colleague, Chief Information Officer Borja L¨®pez, is equally positive about the value of ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ to the business. ¡°A major advantage is that all our data can be combined on one platform,¡± L¨®pez says. ¡°This integration enhances our decision-making, giving us a significant edge in the market.¡±
L¨®pez goes further. ¡°Another key benefit is our ability to merge ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ data with other company systems, allowing us to identify patterns and improve organisational efficiency across the business.¡±
L¨®pez is also quick to highlight the flexibility ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ brings. ¡°A high percentage of our people are technicians who work in factories and don¡¯t have access to a PC,¡± L¨®pez says. ¡°That¡¯s where the app comes in, enabling us to easily extend the use of ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ into the plant environment.¡±
With ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ, all data can be integrated on the same platform, giving our decision-making abilities a powerful boost.
