          Fontaine, Director, Incentives Transformation, IBM, the world's
          leading information technology (IT) services provider

WHAT:     Will discuss the process and results of a three-year
          transformation of IBM's employee compensation policies,
          technology and procedures that moved a structure that compensated
          all employees equally to a culture built around
          pay-for-performance during their presentation, "Driving Global
          Pay-for-Performance at IBM"

WHEN:     Human Resource Executive's 11th Annual HR Technology® Conference
          & Exposition will take place Wednesday, October 15 to Friday,
          October 17, 2008

          "Driving Global Pay-for-Performance at IBM" will take place on
          Friday, October 17, 2008 from 9:00 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. CDT

WHERE:    McCormick Place West
          2301 S. Lake Shore Drive
          Chicago

          Workscape is a Silver sponsor of the event and will exhibit in
          booth No. 701.

DETAILS:  Driven by a CEO mandate to embrace pay-for-performance, IBM spent
          three years, dramatically transforming its compensation policies,
          technology and procedures to move to a pay-for-performance
          culture. This transformation started with their global bonus plan
          that had over 270,000 eligible employees and then extended to
          include merit reviews and off-cycle increases world-wide.

          Fontaine will be joined by Clifford to review the results,
          changes and lessons learned in the 65 affected countries since
          the initial roll out and how usage of the Workscape solution has
          expanded in subsequent years, including how the new system
          increased productivity and driven business results.
