KnowledgePoint's HRTools.com named CODIE Award Finalist: Online Virtual HR Department Provides Essential eTools for Employers
PETALUMA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 13, 2000--HRTools.com, an innovative online business center introduced by KnowledgePoint last summer, has been selected as a finalist for the coveted CODIE Award by the Software & Information Industry Association.
This prestigious awards program chooses from among hundreds of nominees to honor those that reflect ``a tribute to ingenuity and creativity, spotlighting the best in product development and excellence.''
Chosen as one of five finalists for the Best Online Business/Professional Service CODIE Award, HRTools.com presents an extensive selection of free and subscription-based human resource (HR) applications and information for small to medium-sized employers.
``Small businesses face the same HR challenges and liabilities as larger organizations, but generally don't have the time or expertise to cope with them successfully,'' said Michael Troy, president and CEO of KnowledgePoint. ``As a virtual HR department, HRTools.com offers employers a single source for immediate and proven solutions.''
In addition to featuring its own award-winning applications, KnowledgePoint has formed strategic partnerships with other HR industry leaders to ensure that HRTools.com comprises the most comprehensive set of tools for all areas of human resources. The result is a solutions-oriented business center with a growing array of powerful eTools to guide employers in writing job descriptions, posting them to major job boards, managing employee information and benefits, writing performance reviews, developing personnel policies, researching industry-specific and regional salary information, and performing other essential HR functions.
``In the rapidly growing field of online business centers, being honored as a CODIE finalist confirms the unique value readily available at HRTools.com,'' said Troy.
KnowledgePoint received a CODIE Award in 1989 and was also a finalist in 1997. This year's CODIE Awards will be announced March 13, 2000 in San Diego
