Overall Satisfaction with Halogen Software
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.
- We are able to see how many of our staff are working toward each corporate goal and are able to make course corrections that have significant impact on our achievement of those goals.
- Our staff is better able to focus on recording in real time their accomplishments which has lead to more engagement across the company.
- We realized just how much trust is an important component in performance management. Our staff was reluctant to trust that their information would remain safe and secure in the system and it took a while for user adoption to set in upon initial implementation. That was a surprise to us and we engaged a culture survey to dig deep into the mistrust in the organization.
- Ultimate Software, Bamboo HR and SuccessFactors
We chose Halogen because we considered it best in breed for what we wanted to bring to our organization. The flexibility, ease of use for end users and administrators, and how quick it would be to install were all contributing factors to the decision to choose Halogen.
