Walmart to Discuss Company's First Global HR System Implementation at Fifth Annual Kenexa World Conference

  Kenexa (NASDAQ: KNXA), a global provider of business solutions for human resources, today announced that Antoine Jenkins, Senior Manager of Recruiting Support and Strategy for Walmart, will share Walmart's approach to implementing its first truly global HR system during the upcoming 2010 Kenexa World Conference. Happening Tuesday, September 21 through Thursday, September 23, 2010, in Philadelphia, Pa., the Kenexa World Conference will give companies the information they need to transform HR and move from potential to performance.

Titled "15+20+6+22.5 million=1: How Are We Getting There?", Jenkins' presentation will describe how Walmart has addressed its HR needs in 15 countries with more than 20 unique business units across six legacy systems and multiple paper-only processes with 22.5 million applications a year around the globe. The presentation will focus on Walmart's global implementation of Kenexa 2x BrassRing™, a highly configurable and scalable global HR technology recruiting solution.

Using a phased approach with a "freedom within a framework" mentality, Walmart enabled each country to remain independent and true to their own processes and cultural differences while maintaining a consistent candidate experience and global reporting approach. Jenkins will share how lessons learned from one implementation are reapplied to each phase and how success is measured from a country, regional and global perspective.

Rudy Karsan, Kenexa's CEO, commented, "This is the second year that Walmart has presented at Kenexa World Conference and we're honored to have them as a featured speaker. Their global implementation of Kenexa 2x BrassRing is a fascinating story that we believe many of our conference attendees will find educational and engaging."

The fifth annual Kenexa World Conference promises to transform HR through outliers, helping organizations move beyond potential to drive business performance. To reveal true human potential to improve business results, companies must identify and nurture high performers and create the right environment for them to thrive. Attendees of the conference will come to understand how the right individuals in the right environment lead to ultimate success.

The 2010 Kenexa World Conference will be held at The Sheraton Society Hill Hotel, One Dock Street, Philadelphia, Pa. For more information or to register, please visit www.kenexa.com.
