HRN Announces Release of Incentease

SALT LAKE CITY (October 20, 2009) — Jerry P. Nelson, President and CEO of HRN Management Group today announced the release of a revolutionary new online incentive compensation planning and administration solution called Incentive Pro.

Incentive Pro is a simple-to-use and affordable online application designed to make incentive pay programs more effective at achieving and rewarding desired results. Incentease is developed and supported by the same HRN compensation experts that created the popular and successful Compease compensation administration software now in use by over 800 clients.

Mr. Nelson described the underlying philosophy upon which Incentease is created, “Incentease is built on solid business fundamentals; most notably that incentive compensation at its root is a strategic tool to increase revenue and profitability. Therefore the system includes tools and functions to not only track individual performance but also to collectively evaluate plan components and their results; that when measured against pre-determined achievement thresholds, determine concrete ROI statistics.”

Clinton R. Koker, President of HRN’s compensation division added to Mr. Nelson’s comments by stating, “Incentease is not simply an administration tool. It is a strategic solution to improve company performance in targeted areas. In addition to the application, HRN compensation consultants meet with each client to most optimally configure plan components by individual position, and if necessary, develop a customized incentive plan program from the ground up.”

Incentease has been in use by several clients over the past year. Philppe Asselin, VP of Human Resources at Tyndall Federal Credit Union located in Panama City, FL has been using Incentease for 18 months. He had this to say, “Incentease helped us go from good to great in many areas! Performance plans drive performance, but incentives helped our staff members to be more aggressive and become better performers.”
