"We want to help employees prepare for career progression. Halogen supports our philosophy to develop employees while they're here with us at Pine Cove."

"You cannot put a dollar value on the importance of employees receiving regular performance feedback from their managers. Halogen eAppraisal provided the tool to make that happen. And Halogen's cost was very reasonable, especially in comparison to the other systems we looked at."

"Halogen's solution helps to close the communication gap. It provides great insight to access everyone's information easily, and the self-appraisal tool enables staff to feel they have input into their reviews."

"There are a ton of opportunities for ways we can use the Halogen system. It is really very flexible. I would definitely recommend Halogen to anyone."

"In terms of making a great strategic contribution,the technology was really something that was a catalyst for the executive team getting together and defining corporate objectives"

"Halogen is helping us show our employees that we're invested in them, and that in turn is creating a culture of performance for the entire organization."

"I had viewed other solutions that I liked, but given the opportunity to put out an RFP to see what would emerge, Halogen came to the forefront."

"It really has been effective in improving performance and holding leaders accountable."

"With the other solutions, if the appraisal form wasn't what you wanted, you had to pay the vendor to make changes. We liked that with Halogen we could go in and keep the things that were working for us in our existing manual process."

"This is really a first step for us, and definitely reinforces our brand as an employer of choice. In the longer term, we will be able to see how this impacts our retention and recruitment strategies, which is a whole new level of strategic insight we just didn't have previously."

"When I looked at Halogen what impressed me the most was the specialized solution for professional services."

"To anybody in the municipal business, we selected Halogen eAppraisal because of its complete flexibility and Halogen's exceptional customer service. And, of course, there's the automation factor - it's there in front of us.It's saving paper. It's faster. And it gives us more control."

"Managers really enjoy doing the reviews online. The new system enables them to check the status of reviews and make updates at any time. They love being able to have instant, real-time insight into the process."
