Halogen Launches Industrys First Consolidated Realtime StatusUpdate...

Talent Management leader Halogen Software today announced Activity Tracker; the industry's8217;s first consolidated feed that alerts Halogen users to any activity taking place in the system related to their performance or development, or that of their employees. Activity Tracker offers a familiar Web 2.0 experience for all end users. Similar to the news feed on social networking site Facebook, and network updates on LinkedIn, Activity Tracker posts updates about users's8217; activity in one view with links to the details about the activity.

The first status update feature of its kind within a Talent Management solution, Activity Tracker has been designed in response to a real business requirement 's8211; the need to understand what actions are taking place related to performance within the Talent Management system. Activity Tracker enables HR, management and employees to see activities and updates in one consolidated, real-time feed. Users can now more easily track if items such as goals or development plans are being updated, performance journal notes are being entered, and the overall engagement level of employees and managers with the system. Not only does the tool save users time in terms of not having to search for information updates, but like Halogen's8217;s newly launched Talent Profile (http://www.halogensoftware.com/news-events/wp_pr.phptype=pr's38;p=1184), it has been designed to drive application stickiness and adoption and entrench talent management processes more strongly within the organization. Activity Tracker has been well received by customers as a perfect way to gain quick insight into the updates taking place within the system.

Amanda Easton, Employee Education and Development Manager with SNL Financial which has over 1,000 employees using the Halogen the system, states 's8220;both HR and managers can benefit from a consolidated feed of all recent activity taking place in the Halogen Talent Management Suite. The notion that updates are housed in one central feed delivered to managers directly sounds like an ideal solution.'s8221;

Three views are available with Activity Tracker: my view, which allows users to see relevant activity related to their performance and development; a direct reports view, which enables managers to see updates by their employees; and a second-level management view; which enables senior managers to see activity two levels down within the organization. Activity Tracker preferences can be set to turn views on or off.

Activity Tracker is available as part of Halogen's8217;s new Talent Management (http://www.halogensoftware.com/products/) Suite 9.1 which is currently scheduled to begin shipping in September 2009, and comes as a pre-integrated component of Halogen's8217;s Talent Management applications.

Halogen's8217;s Activity Tracker feature will be showcased in presentations at Halogen booth 818 at the SHRM Conference in New Orleans next week.
