OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 12/10/12 -- SGT, a leading engineering and aerospace contractor, has selected the Halogen Talent Management Suite(TM) to drive its talent management programs in support of a high performance culture. With Halogen's solutions, SGT is able to share critical talent data seamlessly across all processes including its performance, learning, recruiting and succession programs.

According to SGT's VP of HR, Shelley Johnson, the decision to choose Halogen was easy. Halogen's strong customer focus and the flexibility of its complete, organically-built suite to adapt to SGT's business needs and processes tipped the scales in Halogen's favor.

"SGT fosters a strong entrepreneurial and high growth work environment and we want our talent management processes to support that," said Johnson. "With all talent systems tied to improving performance, Halogen will help us be more strategic in aligning employee and organizational outcomes so that our employees and the company see real return on our talent management investments."

As an employer of choice SGT is committed to partnering with employees to support their professional growth and for this reason has many talent management initiatives planned. However, the company's leadership team recognized that without an underlying technology system, the administration and data management of the programs would be unmanageable. It became clear that a single solution to underpin its talent acquisition, performance management, learning and succession planning programs would be ideal.

SGT has employees spread across the US and many of them don't work in the same location as their manager. Tools like Halogen Feedback Central(TM), coaching and development tips, and on-target goal management are helping SGT to increase employee-manager engagement in talent management processes - regardless of location.

"We believe that having supporting tools to keep performance and development top of mind for our team will help drive overall employee satisfaction, engagement and performance. Halogen is an important part of that strong coaching culture and focus," continued Johnson.

The award-winning Halogen Talent Management Suite is the only HR software built from the ground up to drive higher performance. All the modules in the suite integrate fully and seamlessly, providing a consistent and intuitive experience for all users. The Suite gives organizations all the features needed to develop their human capital as a strategic, sustainable competitive advantage.
