OTTAWA, Oct. 18 /PRNewswire/ - Halogen Software Inc., the leading provider of web-based employee performance management (EPM) software, today announced it has won the Top Human Resources Product Award from Human Resource Executive Magazine. Halogen eCompensation was one of 10 products recognized for ease-of-use, innovation and value. The 17 year-old competition is judged by a panel of editors who received a record number of entries this year.
“Each year the editorial staff of Human Resource Executive identifies those HR products that provide real value to the HR community. Specifically, we look for innovative solutions that help HR professionals successfully contribute to their organization’s business goals,” said David Shadovitz, editor of Human Resource Executive. “Launched in June, Halogen’s eCompensation clearly met the criteria of the competition. In particular, we were extremely impressed by the software’s level of functionality and its approach to workflow.”
eCompensation simplifies and automates the entire merit-based compensation adjustment process, including budget distribution and approvals for salaries, bonuses, variable pay, and share option packages. It replaces error-prone paper and spreadsheet-based compensation adjustments with an easy- to-use, accurate, and secure web-based system that links to employee performance.
“This award validates our belief that human resource practitioners want simple-to-use tools to help them and their line managers get the job done in a more accurate, professional and timely manner,” said Paul Loucks, President of Halogen Software. “We are pleased that our industry peers have formally recognized the value of our solutions and our commitment to meeting the needs of our customers.”
This is the second award the company has won in the past few months. In July the company received the 2005 Human Resources Technology Award HR Events and The International Quality & Productivity Center (IQPC). Halogen has also recently reported record growth for the eighth consecutive quarter, adding 60 new customers in Q3 for its popular employee performance management solutions.
