platform as the foundation for its employee development program. With
Softscape, S&C will better link staff improvement initiatives to

"At S&C, we recognize that we must continuously improve what we do and
how we do it. Our people must not only be prepared for change, but also
must be involved as the agents of change," said Doug Patten, director,
human resources, S&C. "Softscape is helping us prepare for the future.
Our end goal is to establish a complete employee management process that
engages our workers and encourages them to stay with us for a long time.
When we develop, monitor, rate, and reward our staff, their
effectiveness is enhanced, and it positively influences our business
results."

processes, S&C selected Softscape to streamline its people management
efforts and fully automate performance reviews, introducing new
efficiencies, enhanced accuracy, and time savings to employee
appraisals. S&C can align individual goals with company objectives,

communication. Suited to the needs of both salaried and hourly workers,
Softscape's easy-to-use, yet comprehensive human resource functions will
help S&C's employees reach their highest potential.

"Companies like S&C show that small to mid-size companies are focusing
on employee growth, development, and retention as much as the large
enterprises," said Dave Watkins, chief executive officer, Softscape. "By
implementing Softscape, S&C is investing in its employees' success.
Softscape's flexibility can enable S&C to adapt from a basic review
system to true performance management and help transform its business
