Available online at www.genesys.com, individuals have access to the Genesys Meeting Profile(TM) provided by Rembrandt Advantage, along with meeting tips and guidelines to determine what kind of Speed Meeting would work effectively within an organization.
Profile assessments from
Rembrandt Advantage have been utilized by thousands of individuals and
companies looking to develop the skills and tools needed to perform at a
superior level.
Best Practices for Web Conferencing
A Speed Meeting is a short,
focused virtual meeting that allows teams and colleagues to conduct meetings
casually, effectively and more often. "Widespread adoption of multimedia
conferencing requires collaboration service providers to take a different
approach to service offerings," explained Denise Persson, Genesys EVP of
Global Marketing. "Customers have embraced the technology--now we need to
help them reach better decisions quicker with our services." Persson added
that the company's goal is to demonstrate the business value of its services
through the development of best practices for Web conferencing.
Many of today's
organizations face the same meeting challenges in that they are far more
global, dynamic and dispersed than ever before, yet they still demand that
colleagues and associates work together successfully in collaborative teams.
"Meetings are the foundation on which teams are built. In a work
environment characterized by quick, ad hoc meetings, the process of building
teams must also happen quickly," explained Persson. The basics of
effective Speed Meetings allow for a Web conferencing service that offers the
range of technical capabilities that closely simulate a face-to-face meeting
and learning how to use these features in meetings. Additionally, team members
learn about their own personality characteristics, ultimately learning how to
manage them for best success in virtual meeting situations.
"Our research indicates
that today's employees would rather do almost anything other than attend a
long, boring meeting. In fact, increasingly they actually prefer to meet
virtually by phone or Web conference so that they can deal with the topic at
hand and limit unnecessary chitchat," Persson said. "Genesys has long
been an advocate of utilizing Web conferencing to achieve the best in online
collaboration for any organization of any size, and we've taken that philosophy
to the next level with our Speed Meeting tool kit and online diagnostic, the
Genesys Meeting Profile. We're delighted to be working with Dr. Santo to
provide insights to new and existing customers on how their organizations can
achieve success through collaboration."
Using interpersonal
characteristics such as listening ability, self-confidence and sociability,
Genesys and RembrandtAdvantage have made Speed Meeting guidelines available
that can be applied to streamlining online collaboration and to help teams work
smarter and accomplish more.

"Working with the Genesys Conferencing team to develop

very best in quality, teamwork and business practices," said Santo.
"Companies have come to realize that if they execute better, they perform
better."

REMEDYTEMP, INC. Introduces Breakthrough Manager Matching Technology
ALISO VIEJO, Calif.— Have you ever wondered why you work so well with some people while others always seem to zig when you zag? To address this management challenge and give its clients a hiring advantage, RemedyTemp, Inc. (NASDAQ:REMX) established an alliance with RembrandtAdvantage®, an industrial psychology expert with 25 years of research in employee selection and development, to create a breakthrough technology called Remedy Manager Match™.
Remedy Manager Match is an exclusive personality assessment that measures the compatibility of managers and job candidates. “In a study of eighty thousand managers and one million employees, the Gallup Organization concluded that the manager-employee relationship is key to employee retention,” said Greg Palmer, president and chief executive officer of RemedyTemp, Inc. “We recognized that we could provide incredible value for our clients if we could help them build more compatible relationships between their managers and employees.”
RemedyTemp, Inc., which operates as Remedy Intelligent Staffing, is a professional staffing organization with 240 offices throughout North America that has a track-record of innovation in employee selection technologies. In 1996, Remedy launched its exclusive Human Performance Technology (HPT®) which uses behavioral science to gauge critical performance indicators such as work ethic and dependability. Now, with its launch of Remedy Manager Match, Remedy has once again achieved a breakthrough in the staffing industry.
“Wouldn’t it be nice to know how well someone will click with you before you hire them?,” asked Michael Santo, PhD, the founder and president of RembrandtAdvantage. “Now you can. Remedy Manager Match is a cutting edge solution based on validated science. No one else is offering anything like it.”
RembrandtAdvantage identified four areas of one’s personality that can help predict manager-employee compatibility. Intelligence built into Remedy Manager Match determines whether similar or different personality traits will yield the best working relationship. “For example, a big-picture manager may need a more detail-oriented assistant,” added Santo. “Remedy Manager Match gives managers the information and insight they need to build working relationships with greater communication, compatibility and performance.”
Remedy Manager Match launched on Monday, October 25, after being introduced at Remedy’s National Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona. “Response has been overwhelming,” according to Janet Hawkins, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Sales, RemedyTemp, Inc. “Our clients are connecting with the importance of manager-employee compatibility. They immediately recognize the need from their own experience.”
Remedy Manager Match was developed exclusively for Remedy Intelligent Staffing clients. However, due to high demand, it is now available for companies who want to improve the compatibility of their own managers and employees.
