This year’s edition of the survey (the 5th annual!) gave HR pros an opportunity to have their say on their favorite things, with a gift giving spin. More than 200 HR professionals from North America weighed in with their responses from December 2nd to 14th via an online survey.

Bersin & Associates released a new study on customer satisfaction with talent management systems today, and I am thrilled to share that Halogen was the only vendor in the study to achieve special recognition for its total customer satisfaction.

It’s been a month since we launched the HR Raging Debates virtual forum! In that time we’ve had over 1000 readers weigh in with their reactions to the opinions of the 10 HR experts who answered pressing questions in talent management and HR.
