Educational Breakfast Seminars in Washington, DC, Northern Virginia and Atlanta to highlight relationship between performance management and talent management strategies

Arlington, Va. - 22 July, 2008 – Plateau Systems, leading provider of talent management software, services and solutions, today announced its “Roadmap to Performance Management,” series of East Coast breakfast seminars to be held in August in Washington DC, Tyson’s Corner, Va., and Atlanta. During these free seminars, talent management experts from Human Capital Institute (HCI), will join Plateau customers including W.L Gore and the United States Department of Labor and Plateau partner PriceWaterhouse Coopers to present best practices and discuss the critical role performance management plays in helping organizations achieve a successful talent management strategy.

In today’s challenging business environment, organizations must align employee performance with the goals of the organization, and effectively reward top talent for their individual and collective contributions to the organization. Designed for HR leaders, Plateau’s “Roadmap to Performance Management” seminars will provide attendees with an action plan for building and executing a talent management strategy through a combination of case studies, research-based presentations and real-world insight and discussions.

"With workforce productivity and retention remaining top priorities for executives across the board, performance management is no longer an organizational option, it’s a must,” said Jeff Kristick, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Plateau. “Plateau’s road show will offer attendees a unique opportunity to interact with industry experts and other HR professionals and gain greater insight into best practices for not only developing and managing talent, but also aligning training with organizational goals.”
