Chief People Officer to Unveil PeopleAssistant at 2010 Human Capital Summit

TUCSON, Ariz., March 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Chief People Officer (CPO) today announced the launch of PeopleAssistant, a complete and integrated HR management system that could revolutionize the Human Resources domain.

According to Mark Ziska, founder and president of CPO, PeopleAssistant offers small- to medium-sized businesses (50 to 10,000 employees) an affordable, single-platform information system from which to simply integrate and synchronize every HR function in the employee life cycle, from talent acquisition to termination. Unlike other products, Ziska says PeopleAssistant allows for a truly integrated talent management approach across the HR 'silos' while providing a robust, competency-based performance management system linked to the corporate strategy of the organization.

"PeopleAssistant takes best practices from America's most successful companies, integrates them into sophisticated technology developed over many years, and packages them into a product that is in demand, affordable and easy to use," Ziska said. "We're excited to be able to offer small and medium-sized companies such a distinct competitive edge at a time when it is absolutely critical for businesses to streamline productivity and align workforce goals to a strategic plan."

Ziska founded Chief People Officer in 2001 after having served for 24 years with Raytheon, most recently as a VP of HR in the company's Tucson facility.  In his subsequent work consulting to smaller scale businesses, he recognized the opportunity to bridge a wide technological gap in HRIS. He set out to develop PeopleAssistant as a way to give smaller companies the same or better access to sophisticated technology that mega companies use for talent management and workforce engagement, without the prohibitive cost.

PeopleAssistant will be formally unveiled next week, at the 2010 Human Capital Summit, an annual gathering of the most prominent human capital and business thought leaders. To be held at Tucson's JW Marriott at Starr Pass, March 21-24, the Human Capital Summit is considered the foremost learning environment for real-world execution of talent management, leadership principles and technology. Chief People Officer is a sponsor of the event.
