Pilat to expand U.S. range of HR metrics technology

Lebanon, Pilat, committed to Powering Performance and Potential SM through its HR Pulse range of Succession Planning,announced its partnership with Interactive Solutions New Media, Inc.

ìDuring the last few years HR has witnessed an explosion in the number of web-based systemsî, shared Pilatís CEO and Principal Consultant, Clinton Wingrove. ìHowever, despite vendor claims that these need little or no systems training, many are still not producing the expected return on investment and system usage, both compliance and quality, are falling short of target.

First, merely incorporating an array of pop-ups, writing aids, phraseology checkers, PowerPoint presentations, fancy screen designs, etc., is NOT providing training. Such gizmos, often created by highly talented programmers ñ but not trainers, create the illusion of training whilst often propagating or even encouraging poor practice; they must be designed with even greater care than conventional training and compensate for the lack of observation & feedback so critical for true learning.

Second, behavioral engineering systems such as Performance Management require users to understand the processes and the concepts on which they are based. Putting in web-based systems without attending to these questions is easy and will create an illusion of improvement; but it will ultimately cost the organization dearly.

IS New Media is a Pilat partner and specializes in creating custom web-based training systems. A unique combination of cutting edge technology and an in depth understanding of both HR processes and adult learning models enables Interactive Solutions to produce highly effective, custom, web-based training applications that we can integrated into our HR Pulse suite of HR systems including Performance Management, Succession Planning, Development Management, and 360.

Pilat has invested over 30 years in helping organizations increase performance and realize human potential. Our partnership with IS New Media further enhances our ability to offer our global clients complete solutions.
