LEARN.NET PARTNERS WITH LEADING PEO, AMSTAFF HUMAN RESOURCES
-- Partnership to provide
remote Human Resources programs and skills training
for Amstaff clients --
ATLANTA,
GA (JUNE 2004) - Learn.net today announced a strategic
partnership with Amstaff Human Resources, located in
Pensacola, Florida and one of the leading Professional
Employer Organizations (PEOs) in the nation. The partnership
with Learn.net will allow Amstaff to offer remote, Web-based
training for clients with multiple locations who need
to provide HR and skills improvement training without
losing company productivity time and costs through travel
and lengthy instructor-led courses.
"We were
enticed by the quality of the Learn.net 'MAPLE' learning platform, the integrated Web-based content
and tracking mechanisms," said Britt Landrum, Jr.,
Founder and CEO of Amstaff. "Anything that we can
do to improve the skill set of our clients' employees
along with HR compliance training without losing productivity
hours is a natural for us. This new service is an extension
of our commitment to be the unequaled supplier of value-add
capabilities to our clients. "
Larry Duckworth,
CEO of Learn.net, noted that, "The Amstaff team,
and their vision, epitomizes the type of PEO customers
with which we enjoy working. Their commitment to adding
new value to customers, harnessing the power of the
Web, helping to reduce employee performance and liability
risks, and setting new competitive standards are impressive
and gratifying."
Amstaff serves
as an off-site personnel department for clients, beginning
by assisting in pre-employment screening, skill testing,
arranging for physical exams, and drug testing when
selecting employees. Amstaff maintains all personnel
records, EEO information, pay records, vacation records,
sick leave, performance review dates, birth dates, and
any other record that is important for the legal and
practical administration of the employment relationship.
Learn.net's comprehensive 'MAPLE' platform
further extends the reach of Amstaff.
"Providing
these over 3000 types of Web-based courses avoids the
'either-or' of training versus business hours productivity,"
continued Duckworth. "Receiving the mandatory and
voluntary training via the Web increases knowledge and
compliance but without losing business hours productivity.
It is a true 'win-win' for everyone involved."
