Human Resources: Innovation Strong Despite Recession

CHICAGO (September 21, 2009) — The winners of
[http://www.hreonline.com/] Human Resource Executive^® magazine’s 21^st
Annual Top HR and Top Training Products of the Year will be recognized at a
special awards luncheon during the [http://www.hrtechconference.com/] 12^th
Annual HR Technology^® Conference at McCormick Place in Chicago,
September 30, 2009. The editors of Human Resource Executive spent hundreds
of hours reviewing product demonstrations and conducting research in order
to select their picks for the best HR products of the year. Products were
judged on innovation, user-friendliness and the value they add to the HR
profession.

“Human Resource Executive^® is now in its 21st year of recognizing
excellence and innovation in the HR vendor community with its Top HR and
Top Training Products Awards. Judging from the high quality of this
year’s submissions, the recession has not stopped innovation. We received
a record number of entries, which we pruned down to 10 HR and five training
products. The 15 products are, in our estimation, the best of those
solutions, capable of delivering on their promises and of making HR’s job
easier,” commented David Shadovitz, vice president/editor & publisher of
Human Resource Executive^® and co-chair of the conference.

The magazine’s top 10 choices for HR products and top choices for
training products are detailed in the October 2 issue of Human Resource
