PeopleMatter Release

New Online Training Tools to Develop Service-Industry Talent

CHICAGO, IL. & CHARLESTON, S.C. – MAY 2011 – National Restaurant Association Show 2011, Booth 5874 – PeopleMatter, the only comprehensive talent management solution specifically designed for the service industry and the NRA's official talent management partner, today launched PeopleMatter LEARN™. This new module adds an innovative dimension to the PeopleMatter Platform by providing a suite of social, online training tools employers can use to develop, train and test their employees. Easily accessible via the Internet, LEARN delivers a dynamic learning management system (LMS) that embraces the technology of today using video, customizable curriculum, SCORM courses and social media.

LEARN offers many immediate benefits that:
• Increase training ROI;
• Boost retention;
• Intensify engagement;
• Grow revenue;
• Improve customer service; and
• Save time.

With one centralized system to streamline training operations, employers can deploy content instantly and consistently. Comprehension and progress are easily monitored via an administrator dashboard that can be viewed anytime, anywhere over the Web. Managers can use LEARN to define goals and set career paths for their team, as well as target training based upon changing business needs.

With LEARN's online training module, a company's entire workforce is trained faster and more efficiently with whenever, wherever training. In turn, a well-educated staff provides better service, which ultimately increases customer satisfaction and revenues. Company branding, culture and values–-as well as other training activities–-are easily imparted to everyone on the front line and back of the house via virtual classrooms. The days of scheduling meetings and coordinating classroom sessions are no longer needed with PeopleMatter LEARN™.

"Our LEARN module was specifically designed to fit the fast-paced schedules and lifestyles of today's service-focused workforce," said Nate DaPore, PeopleMatter president and chief executive officer. "Our products continue to revolutionize the way service-industry employers and employees interact with each other and the customers they serve."
