Halogen: Hey Dude, Where's My Appraisal?

OTTAWA, ON – June 2, 2008 – Halogen Software Inc., a leading provider of
web-based employee performance and talent management software, today
announced that it has been selected by The Motley Fool to provide an
employee performance and talent management system for the investment
services company's employees, managers and human resources
professionals. 

The Motley Fool wanted its HR processes to keep pace with the attitude and
feel of the company's business and culture based on flexibility, respect and
an absence of pretension. Company employees are known as "Fools" and the
culture is reflected in the organization's editorial style as well as the way
employees are treated on a daily basis – with a mission-driven sense of
purpose and fun.  Following a thorough selection process assessing solutions
from multiple vendors, the HR team selected Halogen's Employee Performance
and Talent Management Suite. 

"Halogen's solution was highly intuitive and provided us with the flexibility to
configure the system to meet our unique cultural needs," said Angelique
Keenley, Director of Human Resources at The Motley Fool. "Respecting and
maintaining our corporate culture is a priority for all of our HR programs, so
being able to adapt the solution so it fits with our language - using greetings
and reminders like "Hey, Fool" and "Dude, you're late" - was a plus. Based on
customer references we were confident that the Halogen solution would be
easy to roll out and configure."

Tight integration of Halogen's employee performance appraisal software with
its compensation management and succession planning software will enable
The Motley Fool to execute on key elements of organization's HR strategy for
2008.  Halogen eSuccession will be used to manage the process of identifying
high performers as well as improving retention strategies. "Now with an
automated process we will be able to get an accurate data point on
everyone's performance and use that as the basis for further succession
planning initiatives," explained Keenley.
