Mexican Automotive Supplier Arnecom Selects StepStone for Complete Talent Management Solution, Going Live in Less Than 12 Weeks

Mexican automotive components supplier Arnecom has licensed the complete range of StepStone (OSE:STP)(LSE:STPS) Talent Management solutions, providing information to all management levels for talent management and HR planning in its various geographies and its plants across Mexico. The implementation includes modules for Human Resources, Performance Management, Training and Development, Compensation Management, Career & Succession Planning, Skills & Competency Management, and reporting. The StepStone solution, which is now fully functional for 1,500 of the 10,000 employee population, was in production in just 12 weeks.

Arnecom was until recently a joint venture between Mexico-based Xignux, a StepStone client, and Japanese manufacturing giant Yazaki. In April of this year Xignux decided to sell its participation in Arnecom, leading Arnercom to review its talent management needs. As an independent company, and based on its previous good experience in using StepStone solutions, Arnecom didn’t hesitate when it came to selecting StepStone again for all its Human Resources and Talent Management needs.

The quality of both Stepstone’s technology and the high level of professionalism from both Stepstone and its partner Ixaya, a certified StepStone partner, were both highlighted by Arnecom.

“The StepStone platform is helpful in so many ways - it is a very important tool that helped us meet our strategic goals, allows us develop our talent pipeline, helps us better manage our HR function and complies with our people management philosophies,” says Manuel Gómez, HR Director from Arnecom’s corporate group.
