Halogen Software today announced that leading companies from across Texas are using its enterprise-class employee and talent management (http://www. halogensoftware. com/products/) solutions to build high-performance cultures, improve employee retention and attraction, and establish themselves as employers of choice. Almost 100 Texas-based companies of all sizes are now using Halogen’s HR software (http://www. halogensoftware. com/) to successfully implement easy-to-use, powerful, on-line employee performance and talent management programs.
77% of all organizations cite the competition for skilled labor as their number one pressure. A recent Aberdeen Group study, Managing Employee Performance (http://www. aberdeen. com/c/report/research_previews/5036-RP-managing-employee-performance. pdf), found that organizations with an automated employee performance management solution achieved above average gains in their talent management processes, including more than 600% improvement in employee time-to-productivity and over 700% increase in employee retention.
Frisco-based Convenience Food Systems (CFS) is an international company with innovative food packaging systems. CFS’ regional HR Manager Scott Mottern recently implemented Halogen eAppraisal. “CFS faces the same challenge as many international Dallas-based companies do — being able to answer the talent management challenges of globalization as we move ahead,” said Mottern. “Delivering employee performance management consistently across broadly dispersed offices is one of the most difficult of these challenges. Halogen enables us to achieve this consistency, which is invaluable to our retention plans.”
Galderma Laboratories is a multi-national dermatology products company based in Fort Worth.

This information enables us to ensure consistency and accountability across groups and clearly link individual goals to corporate objectives.”
Robin Clayton of Galderma will be presenting a webinar on how the company has used Halogen’s employee performance management solution to support HR’s strategic role on Thursday August 28 from 2:00 – 3:00 p. m. eastern time.

Redi Carpet out of Stafford, Texas has grown to be one of the largest suppliers of flooring in the United States – a success based largely on the hard work of its committed employees. “The service we provide our customers is our vital competitive advantage. This makes effectively appraising our employees and maximizing activities such as retention and development key to our on-going success,” said Jerry Hosko, President and COO of Redi Carpet. “We needed to go beyond simply replacing our paper-based system and ensure that employee performance was clearly tied to our corporate objectives. Halogen’s solution does just that and helps us provide employees with clear and effective feedback to ensure we are meeting our overall strategic goals.”
