CONSHOHOCKEN, PA--(Marketwire - April 16, 2009) - AlliedBarton Security Services implements one of the best HR ideas of the year as determined by Human Resource Executive® magazine. Celebrated in the magazine's March 2009 issue, the magazine editors shine a spotlight on AlliedBarton's Business Development Manager Talent Lifecycle Value (TLV) initiative.

AlliedBarton, the industry's premier provider of highly trained security personnel, launched the TLV program in April 2008 to better understand how to address sales generation challenges during a turbulent economy.

"Our Human Capital Management professionals around the country focus on ensuring that our business leaders are equipped to provide solutions to our customers."

"The TLV model has proven to be a valuable instrument in our ongoing effort to best manage our talent and position our Business Development Managers for success and career growth," adds Gillece. "At AlliedBarton we know the importance of fully engaging our staff. It is important for us to measure their progress through evaluations and take action to ensure talent is developed in a way that supports our strategic goals."

Each year, editors of Human Resource Executive magazine recognize the Best HR Ideas of the previous year in their March issue. By identifying and featuring those ideas in HRE, they present their audience with the best HR practices to consider as they address their own challenges.
