Case Study
Ornua Improves Employee Satisfaction and Retention Using SAP SuccessFactors
Like most things, it starts with the basics.
Lots of rain. The rain keeps the grass green. The green grass keeps the cows fed. And the well-fed cows produce milk. The grass-fed milk produces a rich yellow butter. Butter that tastes different from other butters.
“We’d say it’s like the difference between chalk and cheese.” – Pat O’Keeffe, deputy editor of Irish Farmers Journal, via NPR.
Ornua, the company behind that rich yellow butter, has a mission to share “the great taste of Irish grass-fed dairy with the world.” Fulfilling that mission takes employees. Keeping those employees satisfied and engaged takes behind-the-milkhouse work, where Rizing’s experience proved valuable.
