— Winners of Top HR and Top Training Products to Be Recognized at Luncheon During HR Technology® Conference —

CHICAGO (September 21, 2009) — The winners of Human Resource Executive® magazine’s 21st Annual Top HR and Top Training Products of the Year will be recognized at a special awards luncheon during the 12th 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.
