Leading regional Australian bank uses Halogen talent management solutions to link performance with
development for long-term competitive advantage
OTTAWA, Feb. 18, 2014 /CNW/ - The Bank of Queensland (BOQ), a leading
regional Australian bank, has selected Halogen's talent management
solutions to link learning and performance, and plan for succession.
The Halogen solution supports the Bank's strategic imperative to
competitively differentiate itself based on talent and a commitment to
customer service excellence.
Prior to using Halogen, BOQ had a number of disparate talent management
processes, which prevented the Bank from having a holistic view of
employees' performance and development needs.
"We had a number of systems and platforms that weren't connected or
sharing information. We had segmented views of each employee when what
we really needed was an organizational view," says Ben Tilley, Head of
Performance and Operations at BOQ. "Halogen's truly integrated system
is giving us that global view we've been looking for, which is allowing
us to better track employee development, and align our workforce to our
organizational goals."
BOQ is using Halogen to support organizational alignment by ensuring
individual employee goals are connected to company objectives. The
result is greater clarity around performance expectations and improved
transparency, which supports the organization's culture of
accountability.
Ongoing employee development is critical to the Bank's ability to
deliver on its value proposition. Halogen is helping the leadership
team, the human resources team and front line managers at BOQ to
identify employee development needs, support career progression and
create a more direct link between performance and development. In
addition, employees are being empowered to take charge of their own
development.
According to Tilley, part of what was appealing about Halogen was its
focus on building long-term relationships with customers, which aligns
with the Bank's customer-focused culture. The Halogen solution's
easy-to-use interface and flexibility were also key drivers in the
selection process.
"The flexibility of Halogen's offering allows us to easily combine and
change processes, which will help us accomplish some significant things
from a business point of view," says Tilley.
BOQ has implemented the Halogen eAppraisal™ and Halogen eSuccession™
modules and plans to roll out the Halogen eLearning Manager™ module
this year.
The Halogen TalentSpace™ suite is built from the ground up to drive
higher employee performance across all talent programs - whether that
is recruiting, performance management, learning and development,
succession planning or compensation.
All modules in the suite integrate fully and seamlessly, providing a
consistent and intuitive experience for all users, while supporting
organizations in developing their human capital as a strategic,
sustained competitive advantage.
