A blog about working better together

We are proud to announce Rypple has been selected as one of the Human Resource Executive top 10 products for 2010! We’ll be presenting our latest & greatest at the “Awesome New Technologies for HR” panel on Thursday @ the HR Tech conference. We’re honored to be the only company invited to this prestigious HR Tech panel twice in a row.

Each fall, the editors of HRE choose the HR and training products they believe represent the very best of what vendors introduced to the market during the past 12 months. The board says these technologies, many of which leverage social media,  should play a key role in the economic recovery.

Check out the amazing things the board said about Rypple:

What It Is: Rypple Feedback is a web-based, Software-as-a-Service application that is designed to provide managers with better visibility into the performance and activities of employees. By using Rypple on a regular basis, managers and companies are able to capture the actions, outcomes, feedback and accomplishments of team members and thereby compile a clearer picture of team members’ activities and performance. The application enables the public recognition of achievements, including links to specific results and competencies.

Why We Like It: What we like most about Rypple is its simplicity. As Rypple’s website points out, the product is basically a “social network for feedback.” It permits employers to provide employees with continuous and confidential feedback in a format that’s as straightforward as many of the popular social-networking sites. To be sure, Rypple isn’t for everyone (it’s specifically targeted to the needs of small and medium-sized companies). But if you’re among those HR leaders seeking a better way to provide employees with meaningful feedback on an ongoing basis, you may want to at least test the waters of Rypple.
