Ottawa, ON (HRMarketer/PRWeb) March 18, 2008 -- Halogen Software Inc., a leading provider of web-based employee performance and talent management software, today announced that it has been selected by Quiznos to provide a system for its employees at the company’s Denver-based headquarters.

We selected Halogen based on the solution’s proven ability to not only streamline the process, but to enable us to drive more value out of our employee performance management.

“We were using a manual system, and with a quarterly review process, we were spending hours coordinating, chasing paper and ensuring everyone was doing what they were supposed to,” explained Lyssa Marie Hansard, Director, Compensation and HR Systems, Quiznos. “In conducting reviews and planning for succession, we need to ensure employees, managers and executives are getting the information and results they need.
