Prositions Named Finalist for Two Prometheus Awards

Prometheus Finalist DES MOINES, IOWA (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 29, 2016

Prositions, Inc. has been selected as a finalist for Small to Medium Technology Company of the Year for the 11th Annual LWBJ Prometheus Awards by the Technology Association of Iowa (TAI). In 2013, Prositions won the Prometheus Award for Startup Company of the Year. The Prometheus Awards are designed to recognize organizations and individuals who have made a significant contribution to the technology and software industries. Prositions has been a strong supporter of TAI and an active participant in programs, like HyperStream, that encourage aspiring students to seek technology career opportunities in Iowa.

“We are very pleased and honored to be included on the Prometheus finalist list this year,” said Frank Russell, CEO and founder of Prositions. “Our senior programmers have mentored and coached HyperStream student interns as we developed new features for our latest software application. MentorString, solves some of the toughest problems organizations are having today with talent engagement and retention,” he continued. “Organizations are spending an incredible amount of money recruiting and onboarding new employees. If that high potential talent leaves within a few months or a year, the cost to the organization can be significant. Our software helps protect that investment by powerfully engaging employees from day one. Giving students an opportunity to work on groundbreaking technology, like MentorString, is a win-win for our company and the industry.”

Frank Russell has also been named a Prometheus Award finalist for CEO of the Year. Mr. Russell has been recognized numerous times as a serial entrepreneur and technology pioneer.

“Frank is a thought leader and innovator in the human resources and technology industries,” expressed Robin Salsberry, President of Prositions. “He not only motivates and inspires his team, but Frank challenges all of us to accomplish more than we ever thought possible. Many of us have worked in his former companies and some have even gone on to create their own successful startups or become leaders in other high-growth organizations. He’s a one person incubator and accelerator!”

The Prometheus Award winners will be announced on Thursday, April 14th.

New Virtual Mentoring Technology to Premiere in Orlando, Florida

Shrm 2014 DES MOINES, IA (PRWEB) JUNE 18, 2014

Prositions, Inc., will be featuring MentorString, at the 2014 Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Conference and Exposition June 22 through June 25 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.

The annual conference is the world’s largest gathering of HR professionals attracting more than 14,000 attendees from presidents to directors and more. This year, there will be over 700 exhibitors showcasing products, services, and solutions.

The three-day conference will include educational sessions, covering topics in the areas of talent management, personal and leadership development and international HR. Those who attend SHRM will have the opportunity to earn credits towards recertification, further their executive education, and attend one and two-part seminars. Keynote Speakers include Mrs. Laura Bush, Robin Roberts, Tom Friedman and David Novak.

“We are looking forward to introducing our new virtual mentoring and collaboration platform, MentorString at this year’s conference,” said Jill Dillenburg, Director of Sales for Prositions. “We encourage everyone to stop by the Prositions booth #344 to see a demo and spin for a chance to win a Les Paul electric guitar.”

Prositions will also have world-renowned leadership expert and speaker John Parker Stewart, author of LEAD NOW!, at their booth to discuss how his leadership development system is being integrated into the MentorString system. “It is such a privilege for us to be partnering with the Prositions team,” said John Parker Stewart. “It is amazing to see what the marriage of cutting edge technology like MentorString and our latest leadership content from LEAD NOW! can do to revolutionize the leadership development industry.”

MentorString enables organizations to leverage virtual mentoring and secure social collaboration technology. It has a number of unique features that allow administrators and users to actually architect communication “strings” between those who have information and knowledge and those who need it. This streamlining of what was once a very tedious and manual process dramatically increases employee adoption rates and significantly reduces the overall cost of implementing coaching and mentoring programs for organizations of all sizes.

“We are extremely excited to unveil MentorString at this year’s SHRM conference. It’s a powerful technology with a robust set of tools allowing users to collaborate, share ideas, information and data,” commented Robin Salsberry, President, Prositions, Inc., “We believe MentorString will revolutionize the mentoring and coaching industry.”
