PhD
Launches Partner Program
Vancouver,
British Columbia, January 15,
2003--Precision
Human Development
(“PhD”) is pleased to
announce, today,
the launch of a new strategic
partnership program. The program
enables a broad cross-section of
HR industry-focused businesses
to offer PhD’s SURE
Performance Benchmarking
technology
(“SURE”)
as a value add component of their own product
or
service
portfolios. SURE is a new
Internet-based employee selection
and
development system that enables
organizations to hire, promote
or further develop top performing
employees. Recruiters, business
services and technology vendors,
employee assistance progr ms,
training, coaching, leadership
and organizational development
firms,
as well as independent sales and
HR professionals may be eligible
to become partners under this new
program.
Performance
Benchmarking is a scientific
approach to hiring and
developing a high performing
workforce. PhD’s SURE
technology
allows organizations to create
custom psychological and
performance profiles, or
benchmarks, of top performers in
any
position. These performance
benchmarks are then used as
accurate and objective tools for
screening the suitability of job
applicants, succession planning
or continuous employee training
and development. Applicants whose
profiles match very closely
with a top performer benchmark
are likely to possess the same
qualities and characteristics
that have enabled the top
performers
to excel in their work. SURE
technology can identify the most
suitable applicants for a
position in a matter of seconds
and
benchmark assessment reports are
available immediately following the completion of any
assessment.
PhD has
developed two partnership options
to meet the needs
of small, medium and large
businesses. Broker Partnerships
are
designed for medium or large
businesses that wish to provide
state-of-the-art Performance
Benchmarking as an integral
component of their product or
service offering. Under the terms
of
this agreement, Broker Partners
become authorized re-sellers of
PhD’s
Performance Benchmarking technology. Sales
Partnerships, the second option,
are designed for small
businesses, sales professionals
and HR consultants who wish to
offer Performance Benchmarking as
a stand-alone service to
customers. Under the terms of
this agreement, Sales Partners
become authorized sales agents of
PhD and receive commissions
for sales made to new and
existing customers.
Mr.
Jason M. Clark is Director of
Business Development for PhD. “PhD
has pilot-tested its new partnership program
with a
number of
corporate training and leadership
development firms as well as
independent business consultants.
We are very pleased with the
success of the program thus far
and are excited to extend
partnership opportunities to
other HR-focused businesses in
North America and across the
globe.”
SURE
technology is unique for its
scientific, research-supported
methodology for employee
selection and development, but
also for
its accessibility and usability.
The system is accessed entirely
online and is available 24/7 from
any Internet-connected computer
in the world. It can also be set
up and made ready for use by
customers in a matter of minutes.
The immediate benefits for
organizations are dramatic
reductions in time-to-hire and
cost-to-hire expenses and a
demonstrable return on investment
of top
quality hires. An important additional benefit
of SURE
technology is its ability to
provide solutions for a variety
of human
capital challenges such as high
turnover, low productivity or
poor
safety records. SURE can identify
the human factors that are
necessary to ensure success in a
position. These factors can
then be benchmarked and used for
the future selection of the
ideal employee or the continued
development of existing
employees.
PhD
is the leading provider of online
Performance Benchmarking
in Canada and the United States.
Performance Benchmarking
takes employee performance and
productivity to new levels by
enabling organizations to
scientifically hire and promote
job
applicants who closely match
their top or ideal performers.
PhD
has its headquarters in
Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada.
