The company winning the award was recognized for the use of three of Emerald’s products: Onboarding, wherein all employees hired by the 5,000 man firm step through a completely automated and paperless newhire process; Staff Service Request, where managers are given tools to automate processes to ensure that all employees have timely access to the materials they need to conduct their jobs effectively; and Personnel Action Notices, where managers are given tools to ensure the company’s policies and practices regarding personnel actions and status changes. All three of the company’s products are collectively known as Human Resource Process Management tools and make up the company’s core product offering.
“We very much appreciate the recognition we have received in the past,” says company President Chuck Ros, “but I can tell you that it is significantly more rewarding to see our clients earn recognition for the use of our products and to know that we have helped them achieve something significant.”
