Toyota Financial Services UK selects CRG emPerform as their Performance and Talent Management Solution


CRG emPerform continues to gain traction in the UK talent management solutions market with the addition of Toyota Financial Services UK to their list of global customers.

OTTAWA, ON – October 1, 2012: CRG emPerform, a leading provider of online talent management software, is pleased to announce that they are the employee performance management solution vendor of choice for Toyota Financial Services (UK). Toyota Financial Services will use emPerform to align their workforce to corporate objectives, track the progress of individual performance and measure organization results.

Based in Surrey, UK, Toyota Financial Services provides point of sale credit and leasing facilities to Toyota and Lexus customers. Using emPerform, Toyota Financial Services plans to develop a process which will help to successfully identify and understand the skills of every employee in the organization, evaluate their employees’ development, and engage employees in the performance management process.

Prior to selecting emPerform, Toyota Financial Services relied on an internally built system for managing employee performance. "We had many limitations using our previous system," said Ashley Hinge, Training and Development Manager for Toyota Financial Services. "Our previous system was not flexible in what we wanted to achieve, we wanted an online, easy to use system which includes all features of the performance management process but in particular to include an excellent succession planning component.”

Toyota evaluated two other vendors and selected emPerform for:
  • The ease of use of the software from a manager and employee point of view.
  • The ability to integrate succession planning within their appraisal process.
  • The ability to use the software’s social feedback tool and 360 reviews to increase employee engagement.
"By implementing emPerform, our employees will be much more involved in their appraisal and our management team can focus on monitoring and improving our employees’ development towards achieving their goals” continued Hinge.

The CRG emPerform UK office has been actively serving the growing need for sophisticated talent management software and service in the UK market since 2009 and has experienced significant growth over the past 12 months. emPerform’s UK location ensures that the growing number of UK emPerform customers and users are given consistent world-class service. emPerform’s expansion into this space solidifies its commitment to serving a global market of truly global companies. Other recent emPerform UK customer announcements include Youth Sport Trust and Axios International.
