General Mills (China) has chosen NetDimensions Talent Suite as the learning and talent management solution for its entire Häagen Dazs retail chain in China. General Mills will use NetDimensions to manage learning, performance, and employee development in order to improve productivity and reduce costs.
Shanghai, China (PRWEB UK) 9 May 2013
NetDimensions (AIM: NETD; OTCQX: NETDY), a global provider of performance, knowledge, and learning management systems, announced today that General Mills (China) has chosen NetDimensions Talent Suite as the learning and talent management solution for its entire Häagen Dazs retail chain in China. General Mills will use NetDimensions to manage learning, performance, and employee development in order to improve productivity and reduce costs. The company aims to create an effective talent management solution to support career planning and development for the entire Häagen Dazs workforce along NetDimensions’ approach of Talent for All.
Since the opening of the first Häagen Dazs flagship store in Shanghai in 1996, General Mills has been expanding quickly with China’s economic boom. Up until early 2013, there have been more than 197 Häagen Dazs shops across 40 major cities. At that point, the company started to encounter various challenges around training coverage, efficiencies across the organization, and skillset qualifications for the fluctuated workforce due to the rapid growth and expansion. These challenges drove General Mills to find an enterprise learning and talent management solution to help support the company’s growth.
“The department of Training and the IT team spent a few months evaluating different vendors before deciding to partner with NetDimensions, ” said Mr. Bill Fan, IT Manager and Ms. Grace Guo, Training Manager of General Mills China.
“NetDimensions has many years of industry experience globally and a strong presence in China. We are especially impressed with the sophisticated product features and their continuous effort on innovation. We are hoping to improve our talent management and development process through the NetDimensions Talent Suite solution and further grow both talent and performance of the company.”
NetDimensions Talent Suite will extend training coverage to all Häagen Dazs employees in China. Once General Mills completes the re-organization of learning programs and competency models for each position, employees can start customizing their own learning paths. Employees can also analyze their competency gaps and enroll to the right training programs that match their career development plans.
Charles Cheng, General Manager for NetDimensions China said: “The partnership with General Mills (China), a Fortune 500 company, once again validates NetDimensions’ position in the industry. This partnership marks another significant milestone for us in China’s Food and Beverage market. We are committed to providing our full support to ensure a successful relationship with General Mills.”
