Golden Nuggets 2.01 is a
user-friendly software that works like an HR consultant. It’s aimed at
CEOs and heads of small and medium enterprises comprising about 25 to 150
employees. Installation is smooth and to start using it, you have to fill in
the details of the entire organization. Information such as organization
structure, hierarchies, total cost of ownership, appraisals, training
requirements, data of births, anniversaries, hobbies, and even family
histories can be stored as records in the software.
The company claims that the
software helps in increasing the motivational levels of employees. Every
employee has a "Details" page, where-in his commitment and
targets, career path, training details, achievements, extra curricular
activities, discipline record, and financial package, etc, are put in. This
is quite exhaustive and once all the fields are fed in, the daily update is
minimal. This makes sure that at the time of appraisal none of the employee’s
work, tangible or intangible, goes unnoticed. One can carry out internal
surveys and monitor results in a graphical fashion too.
The software has standard
letters for appointment, increment, and promotions that can be opened and
edited in Word. It has a reminders page, which can be customized to have
important dates like retirements, birth dates, anniversaries, and also the
targets for employees. This page pops up when the user logs in. Security is
through passwords.
