Disabled American Veterans to Automate Employee Appraisal Process using CRG emPerform

OTTAWA, ON — January 5th, 2011- Corporate Renaissance Group (CRG) today announced that The Disabled American Veterans (DAV) selected CRG emPerform™ as their talent management solution. DAV will use emPerform to conduct appraisals to more than 600 employees at 2 corporate offices and 88 field offices located throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.

CRG emPerform was selected over other vendors based on its robust, flexible solution and services team that fit the strategic plan of DAV. “We needed a strategic partner that understood our mission and could support our strategic plan”, said Arthur H. Wilson, DAV National Adjutant/CEO. “A couple of demands facing many organizations today are (1) efficiency of operations and (2) security of information technology (IT) services and CRG emPerform delivers on both.”

Since its founding 90 years ago, the DAV has been dedicated to a single purpose: building better lives for America's disabled veterans and their families. Whether disabled veterans have needed a voice on Capitol Hill, a nationwide service program, transportation network or unique rehabilitation opportunities, DAV has focused its attention and resources to meet those needs.

“A key element for our implementation of the CRG emPerform solution is its remote hosting and seamless alignment to our strategic goals of best technology and business practices along with the expanded recognition programs to acknowledge the efforts and leadership of exemplary service officers and staff”, said Barry A. Jesinoski, Director of Human Resources, DAV. “We will be saving time and money by making the appraisal process more efficient, eliminating moving paper around the country and allowing all parties to access the secure system electronically from virtually anywhere the internet is available.”
