Genesys Announces Integration and Referral Partnership with Career-Harmony For Employee Assessments

Assessment Tools Add Value to the Genesys PeopleComeFirst Learning and Competency Management System

METHUEN, Mass. — January 8, 2003 — Genesys Software Systems, Inc., a provider of software and outsourcing services for learning management, human resource (HR) management, payroll, and benefits, announced today a referral partnership with Career-Harmony, a supplier of assessment and selection solutions for human capital management. Under the two-year agreement, the companies will integrate their solutions as well as exchange sales referrals and engage in joint marketing and sales activities.

When integrated with PeopleComeFirst, the Genesys learning and competency management system, Career-Harmony's assessment tools and methodology assist employers in ensuring employees have mastered the competencies required for literally any job and then identify and track prescribed development and learning activities.

"When companies are running lean, as they are these days, it's very important that each employee has the skills required for optimum job performance," said Dr. Shlomo Dover, co-founder and vice president of content development for Career-Harmony. "When integrated with PeopleComeFirst, Career-Harmony's solution gives companies the ability to develop a 'talent map' of their workforce, based on proven competency assessment techniques. Higher employee productivity, increased retention rates, better return on training investments - these are just some of the benefits together we bring to client organizations."

"Our client organizations are looking for more efficient and innovative ways to approach human capital management," said Judy Dukas, director of business alliances for Genesys. "Career-Harmony has years of experience in helping companies make effective decisions related to hiring, workforce deployment, employee development, and organizational structuring."
