Milwaukee Center for Independence Switches to Halogen for Employee Performance and Talent Management
Ottawa, ON (PRWEB) July 5, 2008 -- The Milwaukee Center for Independence (MCFI) has selected Halogen eAppraisal? Healthcare (http://www.halogensoftware.com/products/eappraisal-healthcare/healthcare/) to meet the growing non-profit agency?s employee performance and talent management (http://www.halogensoftware.com/products/) requirements. MCFI is a nonprofit agency assisting children, adults and families with special needs to better live and work in the community, and currently serves more than 10,000 people each year. The organization has switched from a competing Web-based employee performance management system to Halogen to better meet its focus on strategy and goal alignment (http://www.halogensoftware.com/products/halogen-eappraisal/goal-management/) organization-wide.
MCFI recently became affiliated with another non-profit agency, resulting in an expanded scope of services and the need to support a wider array of positions across multiple locations. Additionally, the organization is now accredited by the Joint Commission, which requires healthcare providers to accurately measure their clinical and operational performance. MCFI?s HR team is working to implement an approach where client service departments are more involved in overall strategic planning and goal setting.
?We previously used a Web-based system from SuccessFactors but we moved to Halogen (http://www.halogensoftware.com/) because we require greater flexibility and control over our processes,? explained Greg Bachrach, Director of Human Resources, Milwaukee Center for Independence. ?We are driven by best practices, and the Halogen system will enable us to meet our specific needs as a healthcare organization, as we will be able to easily manage the system and make adjustments to meet our changing requirements. Having the means to ensure we are delivering top notch patient care, while meeting our Joint Commission requirements is a top priority.?
MCFI will be rolling out the new Halogen system to all of its employees, at all locations. Nearly 40% of MCFI?s employees are unionized, making the need to demonstrate consistent and fair employee performance appraisals particularly important to the organization. ?In conjunction with the union, we?ve put a pay-for-performance system in place to create a culture where high performers are recognized and rewarded. We see the Halogen system as an important piece of being able to continue to build strong relationships with our unionized workers and ensuring as an organization we are fair and equitable when it comes to our employees. Ultimately, we want to be able to make the talent management process valuable for everyone involved while supporting our strategic plans,? added Bachrach.
Award-winning Halogen eAppraisal? Healthcare is also exclusively endorsed by the American Hospital Association and is already delivering impressive results in nearly 500 healthcare facilities across North America.

Boat Plans Are Essential Before You Start Building Your Boat
When I was a kid, I used to talk to my dad about building boats. Every winter, we would decide that we would get boat plans during the summer and build something, and every summer we would forget about it. Part of it had to do with me, I will admit. I was a kid, and my attention was pretty flighty. For the most part, I enjoyed spending time with my friends more than with my father. Nevertheless, even if I had been there every day, I doubt we would have been able to put our wooden boat building plan into action. My dad worked so much that he scarcely had time to look at a boat plan, much less build it. So between the two of us, my childhood drifted away with no boat building.
