OTTAWA, September 24, 2001—Halogen Software announced today that they have added Halogen e360, online 360-degree-feedback solution, to their product line. Halogen e360 is the complete web-based feedback software solution that enables organizations to build evaluations, collects and stores responses, monitor evaluators progress and creates instant and informative reports.
"The new Halogen e360 software will help our clients simplify the administration of formal 360-degree-feedback procedures with a systematic assessment tool," says Paul Loucks, President of Halogen Software. "Our focus in developing a 360-degree-feedback tool was to produce a solution with ease-of-use in evaluation creation and evaluators response. This ease-of-use combined with sophisticated reporting provides information for intelligent decision-making."
Halogen e360 is a sophisticated yet easy to use web-based evaluation solution that delivers essential feedback on employee development. It makes online evaluations simple, fast and cost-effective. Some uses of Halogen e360 include employee development, performance appraisal, performance management, training needs assessment, and evaluation of training.
Some examples of Halogen e360 features are:
- Design evaluations with your corporate look and fee
- Rank (matrix) and open text question types
- Password access for evaluators, evaluatees, and administrator
- Evaluatees have option to select their evaluators
- Respondents are able to select relationship to the evaluatees

The use of 360-degree feedback has dramatically increased over recent years with more than 90 percent of the Fortune 1000 companies using it. (Source: International Personnel Management Association.) Its acceleration in use is due to increasing acceptance by employees. The process is viewed as extremely fair. Those companies who implement a competency based assessment and development tool see a return on investment as high as 700 percent.
