Genesys Executive Addresses Role of Competency Management in e-Learning at New York Meeting of Human Resource Executives New Technologies Enable Companies to Link Corporate Values to Department and Individual Competencies for Meaningful Performance Management METHUEN, Mass. — February 13, 2002 — Genesys, a provider of enterprise software and outsourcing services for learning management, human resource management, payroll, and benefits, announced today that Mike Hanninen, director of strategic systems, will discuss the role of technology in competency and learning management at the Human Resource Information Management Society (HRIMS) Technology Conference, from 1:00 to 2:15 p.m., February 15, at the New York Helmsley Hotel. Genesys recently launched PeopleComeFirst, a web-based learning and competency management system that gives companies the ability to track and manage employee learning and training throughout the enterprise. The system also can help companies identify required and desired competencies for employees, identify "skill gaps," and prescribe relevant learning to address training needs. Lands' End and Hillsborough County recently adopted PeopleComeFirst for competency-based learning initiatives. "Our clients - especially those in areas such as healthcare and manufacturing - have expressed great need for a practical technology that can help them manage highly detailed competency models. In some cases, organizations must have detailed reports and audit tracking in order to meet strict certification licensing requirements," said Mike Hanninen, director of strategic systems for Genesys. Hanninen's presentation, "A Competency-based Approach to e-Learning," will discuss how competency management can effectively tie into e-learning and other training initiatives. Hanninen will also cover how competency management can result in significant ROI, including improved hiring, increased employee retention, and higher productivity, as well as qualitative benefits such as the ability of employees to take charge of their own career development. "The use of technology to manage human capital is a strong area of interest for our membership - especially in times like these when budgets are tight and revenue pressure is high," said Beth Stanley, president of HRIMS and director of Answerthink. The HRIMS Technology Conference, sponsored by the New York Chapter of the HRIMS, is a one-day event designed to inform human resource professionals about trends and best practices in the use of technology for human capital management. Topics ranging from self-service HR applications to succession planning systems to intellectual property rights will be covered in case studies and educational presentations.
