Halogen was featured in HRchitect’s May 2008 release of The Suite Life of Integrated Talent Management and also sponsored our recent webinar series on the same subject.
With the introduction of their Talent Management Suite 9.0 at HR Tech last week, Halogen Software brings to market the first performance-based learning management system (LMS). Halogen eLMS tightly integrates organizational learning activities with employee performance appraisals, succession planning and other key talent management functions. In addition to the learning management module, Halogen’s latest suite release incorporates a number of usability enhancements designed to make it easy for HR to succeed with talent management programs.
Traditionally, learning management systems have been used primarily in large enterprises where the HR and learning teams operate in isolation from one another. However, research in talent management points to the union of learning and performance management as a growing best practice, something that HRchitect pointed out in our report, The Suite Life of Integrated Talent Management.
Halogen eLMS now offers organizations of all sizes an enterprise-class learning management system that enables them to quickly and easily see a return on training investments. This fully featured LMS seamlessly integrates learning activities into the performance management and succession planning process — making it easy for HR, employees and managers to access information; identify and assign development plans; even register for learning activities and track progress on achievement – all in a single user interface. They can also identify skill gaps and measure the success of learning programs in terms of improved corporate performance, via the product’s built in Training Effectiveness reports.
Halogen’s Employee Performance and Talent Management Suite continues to be offered as either an on-premise or on-demand (SaaS) deployment. Version 9.0, including Halogen eLMS will be available in late November 2008 through Halogen and its reseller partners. For pricing information and more information please contact Halogen Software.
