Emeryville, CA (HRMarketer/PRWeb) August 30, 2007 --
AthenaOnline has announced that it is working with ThinkWise, Inc. to integrate over 100 of its award-winning video-based SmartBytes™ into ThinkWise’s workforce performance management solution. The ThinkWise solution is a software subscription that provides organizations with an end-to-end solution for managing their talent. Organizations can tailor the solution based on their strategy and the competencies critical to their business. The solution includes tools to hire, align, measure, and develop employees. Athena’s SmartByte video coaching sessions will be a key new tool available to ThinkWise subscribers for developing critical leadership and management competencies.
"We liked Athena’s approach to learning and felt that the short, concise delivery is something that our customers could definitely benefit from," says Roger Jansen PhD, PHD CEO of ThinkWise. "Athena has managed to create compelling and expert coaching sessions that are delivered with great style and a to-the-point matter – something our subscribers will appreciate with their limited time."
The ThinkWise solution has been designed from the ground up with small and mid-size companies in mind. The tools have been designed to be simple to deploy and use, eliminating the need for lengthy training or implementation. In addition to the hundreds of learning resources available with the solution, other modules include; Competency Models and Management, Goal Tracking, Performance Reviews, 360 Feedback surveys, Development Surveys, Hiring Surveys, Interview Guides, and Personal Development Plans.
"The ThinkWise solution is a very forward-thinking system that is well suited to help small and mid-size companies achieve greater performance by streamlining their hiring and development," says Jon Peters, CEO of AthenaOnline. "It really helps to automate an area that usually gets overlooked or becomes a burden on the limited resources that smaller companies have."
The partnership between AthenaOnline and ThinkWise will integrate 130 of the Athena SmartBytes into the ThinkBox Resource Library. The ThinkWise solution is currently being used by several beta customers and is slated for an official launch in the fourth quarter of 2007.
