We use Saba Talent Space and Job Description builder. It is managed by the Human Resources department and is used throughout the organization. We not only use the system as it was intended to handle things like a 90 day appraisal and the annual appraisal as well as assigning and signing off on job descriptions. We also use the system to reduce paper processes. Other process we use halogen for are performance improvement, tuition reimbursement, continuing education, exit interviews, fitness subsidy reimbursement and signing off on policies and procedures. Many of our processes are set up on automatic pilot for enrollment.
Using Halogen again helps us to convert paper processes into electronic ones improving accountability and compliance. All of this works to improve employee satisfaction and increased feedback and recognition.

- Feedback and recognition.
- Performance improvement.
- Performance management.
- Printing functionality.
- Licensing.
- Form and language flexibility.
Currently we use it for our performance management process and for our e-learning course delivery. As a company with a broad geographic, having an e-learning platform to sync and distribute our learning and year-end process is essential. It also allows us to track, coach, and consult with other areas of the business based on its User Centre.
- Easy to maintain and update.
- Easy for each HR Business Partner to track their own client group's activities and past performances.
- Easy to roll out company-wide processes at once and duplicate it for future years.
- Updates are focused on the wrong areas.
- Support has gotten very poor since becoming Saba. Almost impossible to get our CSM on the line and it seems to change monthly.
- Any add-ons cost a lot - even for features that should be included in the base package.

A competent product for small to mid-sized companies
We currently utilize Saba TalentSpace to handle our annual appraisal processes, goal-setting processes, and training administrations. Due to organizational complexities, the project is being utilized departmentally. For those departments that can take advantage of a cloud-based system it significantly reduces the number of paper transactions and greatly reduces the administrative burden we once had to track down training records and appraisals. This system also allows us to deliver standardized online training to meet our compliance needs across the organization.
- The form creator in the appraisal is very strong with many robust features.
- The LMS allows imports of SCORM 1.2, AICC and Tin Can.
- The newly designed dashboard is user-friendly and appealing to end-users.
- Offline adaptability.
- The LMS could use more AI or machine learning to reduce admin burden.
- Missing some sort of social collaboration tool.

Saba TalentSpace: Great for Job Performance Tracking
It is used for yearly employee evaluations. We self-evaluate and then our supervisors evaluate us via Halogen. We also use it to rate our coworkers on occasion. I think it helps make employee evaluations easier and pretty consistent year to year. It's also used to keep track of goals that were given to us during our evaluations, so it can be utilized all year long, not just during the evaluation period.
- I think it's a great tool to keep evaluations uniform, by using a consistent format.
- It's great that you are able to see all your reviews from the past, so you can see how your evaluations were in the past and how you may want to change things for the future.
- It's pretty user friendly, you just fill in the spaces answer the questions or giving the descriptions that are asked of you. You don't have to be a computer tech to use it.
- I think some of the format could be paired down. While it is user friendly, there are some extra spaces and steps that could confuse a first time user. For example, some sections don't apply to my position, but they still show up on my evaluation. I know by now that I don't have to fill this out, but some people might be confused by this and wonder how to answer the question when it doesn't apply to them. (This probably may be with my company, however, as I'm not sure how much control they have over the format of the evaluations.)
- The goals space should be able to be ongoing, instead of needing an end date. Some goals my supervisor set are ongoing goals, so since they don't have an end date, it appears as if they are overdue on Halogen.
- It's really not that difficult to use. It just has a lot of extras I think that don't always get utilized. The option to hide some of those things (i.e. Learning Goals, or Development Goals) I think would be another improvement.

Riding the wave of change
We use Saba TalentSpace as a performance management tool. Our managers use the 1:1 module to track performance and touch base on the goals and development plan. The feedback module is used organization-wide to send and receive positive feedback. We also use the LMS module and have created inhouse programs and also use a few third-party vendor programs for our tech, internal processes, and compliance trainings. Saba TS helped us move from a performance review culture to a performance management culture.
- 1:1 meeting module allows our managers to have frequent performance conversations with their employees. Previously this was done once a year.
- Goals Module allows the employees to have transparency on how their individual goals impact the corporate goals.
- Development plans allow employees to stay focused on the skills development they need and also help them with their career planning and growth.
- A separate test environment
- LMS can be more user friendly
- Expand the use to allow it to handle mentoring programs.

Saba TalentSpace/Halogen is being utilized at our organization as a whole with all benefited employees. We are looking at the possibility integrate some of our faculty positions as well moving forward.
- The reminders are great, therefore, keeping you on track.
- Completing the appraisal through the stages is a smooth transition.
- The capability of being able to redirect an appraisal back to a manager or employee to complete is awesome.
- Resource center has great information.
- The reports have room for improvement. Being able to access reports without having to go into the process detail would be efficient.

Halogen Performance Benefits
Score 6 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
We use Halogen to do our Mid-Year and Annual Performance Reviews. Currently in scope are our Management and Excluded Employees, who have the opportunity to do their self-appraisals and have meaningful conversations with their Managers about Goal and Performance Development within the Organization. This is relatively new for us but has been a great help in automating a previously manual process.
- TalentSpace is great at providing Administrative Training so that your administrators really understand the backend of processes
- TalentSpace has a user-friendly platform for completing performance reviews and clearly lays out all steps in the process and their due dates -- the reminders are also very helpful.
- From an administrator point of view, until you are used to using the back end of processes, setting them up can be cumbersome as there are so many options to utilize, you can easily miss things that would be a benefit to you just from not realizing they are available.
- It would be helpful if there was a way to upload documents -- we had some people not meet the deadline last year who will not have goals from the past year to utilize in the system when we open the process this year.

Halogen review
Halogen is used across our company to manage reviews, learning management, compensation, and for onboarding policy sign-offs. All administrative employees have access and are required to use the system for some of these things, depending on their roles. Performance reviews are all completed in Halogen, which helps us keep track of who has received a performance review and when. Before Halogen, our completion rate of reviews was much poorer.
- Performance Reviews
- Compensation Module
- End User experience for TalentSpace
- Learning is definitely Halogen's weakest arena. It is somewhat difficult to navigate and interact with.
- The back end of admin is clunky and dated.

Halogen from a new employee perspective
It is currently being used across the company for all appraisals and performance reviews. We are also slowly bringing in learning.
- Set up for a form/appraisal
- Per-filled/customizable answers
- Able to compare previous years
- Customization to the home page
- Learning can be more intuitive (please upgrade more like Saba)
- Easier customization to forms

Halogen TalentSpace up to par
We use Halogen TalentSpace throughout our entire organization, from our CEO, to our lab technicians. It allows everyone to continuously track progress, feedback and team activities for our company.
- We are able to complete our monthly safety compliance requirements by creating our learning courses in the LMS.
- We use the 1:1 sessions to record followup on outstanding topics and compliment one another on outstanding job performance.
- We use the 360 multirater to get additional perspective from those in our company for annual reviews.
- I would like to see the performance review document to actually be an online process instead of it looking like a paper document. It seems antiquated.
- It would be a huge benefit if we could add some of the functionality and/or features from SABA to Halogen if we chose to. It is a shame to have the companies merge and not be able to use all of the benefits of both.

We use Halogen across the entire organization for Job Descriptions, eLearning, and appraisals. We use it to record feedback, provide an easy-to-use platform for administering our review process, and also as a vehicle for tracking compliance for annual required education and tracking/monitoring certifications for the BOH. Recently we have updated our job descriptions in Halogen, and hope to use that information to help develop succession plans which will allow us to be more strategic in the way we approach training and development.
- Halogen is very customizable and it allows for the possibility of utilizing processes in creative ways.
- I like the integration of feedback with appraisal processes.
- Halogen also allows for creating development plans that leverage many of its components.
- I would like to see the eLearning platform be more robust and user-friendly.
- I would like to see other types of processes available.
- It would be great to be able to categorize the documents import area.

Halogen (Appraisals and Learning modules)
We use Halogen globally for performance appraisals, goal-setting, and just rolled out learning as well.
- Technical support is great. They generally know what they're talking about and are available 24 hours a day.
- They're quick to help you understand what upgrading to the next version will do for you, and want you to get the most out of your product.
- Reporting is a bit clunky and took some getting used to.
- You can get pretty in-the-weeds quickly with some of the processes. It's a catch-22. It's nice to have a feature to change/adjust so much, but it's easy for a new user to get confused by everything.

Powerful Talent Management Tool
We use Halogen throughout the majority of our firm to assist with performance evaluations and goal setting processes.
- First and foremost, the support is outstanding.
- Halogen maintains a great audit trail within the software that tracks each process and individual interaction.
- Halogen listens to their customers. Unique requests or concerns are helpful in forward thinking and the continual evolution of the product.
- I am always looking to see more functionality for professional services clients. Tremendous changes in the last few upgrades that address multiple managers rather than just direct-line reporting.

Halogen Talent Space is used by the entire company as the main source of performance appraisals and feedback between management and employees. Using the software uniformly allows for greater tracking and reporting ability on the progress of each step in the appraisal process. We are currently trying to implement additional functionality of Halogen Talent Space, including the job description builder and the competency library.
- The tracking aspect of determining what status a performance appraisal is in for each employee is very useful.
- The ability for anyone in the organization to provide feedback to another co-worker using the Feedback Central Halogen link in Outlook is truly great.
- It is also nice, from the administrator side, to be able to set up a New Years evaluation process for every employee and know that the process will be tracked and started based on the time frame that we have established upfront.
- The navigation from the administrator side is not the most intuitive feature. Some of the programming is very different from other similar software suites that have been used in the past, there is a great learning curve.
- I wish there were greater connectivity capabilities between Halogen Talent Space and our HRIS system. It would make data integration much less work, and easier to do throughout the year when we add staff to our headcount.
Our entire company uses Halogen TalentSpace. We implemented the solution to provide an easy transition from annual Performance Review feedback to regular coaching, goal-focused conversations between managers and their employees on a monthly basis. Halogen allows managers and employees to easily track goals, feedback, development, and other important conversations in one place that can be easily accessed and referenced.
- 1:1 agendas are easy to create, add comments to and prompt excellent conversation flow on the topics that truly matter to the manager and the employee.
- The system can be easily customized to reflect your company's language and culture. We did this in several areas of the platform (goals, development, learning), and it made a world of difference in the understanding and adaptation of our users. One example is that in each learning module, we added 3 questions in the course description so that managers would be automatically prompted to ask to follow up / learning transfer questions when their employees enroll and take a learning course.
- Halogen support is outstanding. Any question I have had has been answered upon the first contact or within 24 hours.
- The e-appraisal processes can be tricky to create and navigate on the admin side. I find that testing each process using the test users that Halogen provides within the system is critical to ensuring the process and the form is operating as I intended it to prior to releasing a process to our organization.
- The succession module works backward from how we currently approach our succession/Talking Talent process and unfortunately it's not customizable to be able to accommodate our process. This was disappointing to hear and therefore we are not currently using this module to its full capacity.

Great product!
My company uses Halogen companywide. We use if for talent recruitment, orientation, performance review, and coaching. I find the modules user-friendly, easy to manage and use. Our managers are especially pleased with the product because it makes performance management and coaching an easy process. They like having the ability to keep all records in one place.
- The coaching piece is great because we personalize it with our values and branding.
- We have customized the feedback piece with our own visuals and branding. It makes it easy for our managers to give and track feedback.
- We use if for onboarding pieces. I like that it sends automatic reminders.
- I think the ability to track training other than e-Learning would be a huge improvement
- I would like the ability to customize some of the training trackings

Great Customer Service Team!
Halogen TalentSpace is used by the whole company to manage our performance management process. Last year we implemented the 1:1 Exchange module which was the basis for our "Check-ins" program which encourages our employees to have monthly goal-setting and quarterly development conversations with their managers. These meetings replace the conversation between employees and managers at the end of the year to discuss performance. We believe that these ongoing conversations throughout the year help employees stay on track with their goals throughout the year and managers are able to provide timely feedback and support.
- I think their Support Center is great! All of their Customer Service Representatives are knowledgeable, friendly, and able to troubleshoot any and all issues I've had in the past. I am very impressed with the breadth of knowledge that each representative has - every time I've called them, they were able to resolve my problem.
- Halogen's dashboard is very user-friendly. The dashboard allows the user to sort, filter, and manipulate data in order to create compelling reports.
- Version 18 of Halogen looks very sleek and is user-friendly. With simple instruction, employees are able to log in, enter their goals, and review their performance using the navigation menu on the left. Also from an administrator's perspective, it is very easy to navigate on the back-end.
- My organization does not use all of the functions/modules that Halogen offers, but I find that those modules still appear on the Halogen main page. I think a great area for improvement is to hide these functions so as not to confuse employees.

Great for performance tracking
We are currently using Halogen throughout our whole organization. We are a library system with eleven locations across our county, and everyone uses Halogen for at least one process per year, in our annual appraisal process. Everyone is added into Halogen in their first week as an employee, and we encourage individual usage of it as much as the user finds useful, which varies widely across our jobs. It mainly addresses our appraisal and pay for performance raise system as implemented at the end of each year. We are also using it for our executive director's annual assessment and bonus discussions.
- Halogen TalentSpace is great for individual tracking of performance. You can add goals directly to the profile, add documents such as emails, and update anything at any time. That is super helpful.
- Halogen TalentSpace is also super useful for performance tracking on an HR level. We apply raises that depend on annual review scores each year, so to have all those scores in one place in the same process is a lifesaver. We also love how easy the reporting aspect is.
- Halogen TalentSpace has gotten noticeably easier for our employees to use from year to year. We have a lot of employees who have been with us for decades and were used to our old paper process and so were reluctant to move to an electronic process. But Halogen is easy to both teach and tweak every year so we can get everybody comfortable with us, and we've had a noticeable drop in technical issues calls (to our office for internal help) over the past five years.
- I am sticking with the old view of reports for Halogen TalentSpace because although the new view gives you more details, it's hard to set up so that you see exactly what you need to.
- I wish I could adjust the wording/coding more on the admin side because some of the labels Halogen uses for sections are different than what we use but I can't change them and that is sometimes confusing to users, especially supervisors.
- Nobody really likes the updated home page view, including myself, because it adds extraneous information but hides details that used to be available with a quick glance.

Halogen is a real gem in performance management.
Halogen helped us transition from a paper based system to an electronic, easy to report on, and highly configurable environment for our yearly reviews. We were able to easily engage our staff in the change with the support of our Halogen implementation team and the extensive toolkits they have available.
- The goal management ability in Halogen is top notch. Having the goals flow into the yearly reviews is great from the perspective of not having our employees retype their goals at yearly review time. The flexibility in Halogen for managers to actively see the goals and report on them in a balanced score card is well received by our management.
- The back end administration is easy to learn for even the novice administrator. Training was thorough and the customer support team is always available to help when you have a question, comment, or just need some encouragement that you are "doing it right!"
- The user experience is seamless and popular in our organization. The staff loves the way the menus are set up and how the task bar automatically tells them what is next on their to do list. Our feedback between employees has gone up exponentially with the use of the feed back tools and we thank Halogen for the easy user adoption at time of implementation.
- I would love to see a bit more documentation on the configuration options. Our knowledge felt limited at first until we had a chance to really get to know the tool.

Review of Halogen in the Public Sector
Halogen is being used for probationary and annual evaluations for our agency. Additionally, our employees use Feedback in Halogen to document their performance year long.
- Halogen has created a much more transparent environment between our employees and supervisors. Using Feedback yearlong lets the employees know how they are performing during the year, before they are reviewed.
- Feedback has created a more organized way of keeping notes on employee's performance that can be added directly to the employee's evaluation form. Making the form a painless task.
- Reports are extremely easy to run to keep track of your agency's progress on a task.
- Feedback could offer an attachment field that would help greatly with supporting documents if a supervisor does not want to reference a document upload in the documents field.
- More support with training material for staff would be helpful.

Our organization implemented Halogen across the organization 2 years ago. Halogen allows us to address development issues, Succession issues, form consistency issues, and provides one central location to store the data.
- Halogen makes it easy to connect with your employees around Goals and Development plans. As a Leader, you are able to enter and/or assign Development Activities whether it is an external activity or a Learning Activity that has been setup in Halogen.
- Halogen allows you to give and receive feedback, which is a crucial component to Development. By utilizing Feedback Central you can easily attach these items received throughout the year to any Evaluation process that you have created ... eliminating the need to re-type!
- Halogen's Learning Module allows you to purchase of variety of e-Learning content and assign these course to specific competencies within your organization. You can also create Instructor Led Learning Activities and have employees Enroll.
- Learning Paths are another great way to get everyone within a department or the organization on the same training page (New Employees, Department Specific, etc.) Learning Paths are various Learning Activities that you group together and can assign to individual employees or entire groups. You can add prerequisites, documentation, url's, or SCORM compliant data to test th knowledge of your employee once they have completed the course.
- When creating Evaluation Processes the limitations around the number of Goals that will push over to the form can be frustrating to some departments/positions. Only the first 10 will automatically come over.
- The ability to attach any Documents that you have saved within Halogen should have a way to link to any Feedback that is entered in through Feedback Central.
- The file size of and media that is attached to a Learning Activity or Path could be increased to accommodate more elaborate videos/presentations.
