Power2Motivate® Expanding into Asia

PRLog (Press Release) - Jan 07, 2009 -
In response to strong business opportunities in the reward and recognition market in Asia, Nathan Kitchner, Power2Motivate’s Australian-based General Manager for Asia Pacific, has relocated to Asia. He will set up offices in Hong Kong and Vietnam to service clients across Asia and the Indian subcontinent.

High staff turnover and the global war for talent are not problems limited to the west. Asian businesses – including the Asian operations of global companies – have become increasingly proactive towards improving the engagement levels and enhancing the performance of their employees, their customers and their distribution channels.  "The global financial crisis has highlighted to organizations that it is now more important than ever for them implement a system to motivate and retain their top performers.  Power2Motivate provides organizations with that solution" says Kitchner.

Kitchner’s move to Asia is a natural progression following Power2Motivate’s successful development of its single-platform, global reward and recognition solution that is now available in 37 countries and 9 languages. Although it was only launched in the Australian market 18 months ago, the platform has been in development in North America for 18 years.

“With 427 of the top Fortune 500 companies operating in the Asian region, the market potential is enormous. Many of the buying decisions for the Australian operations of global companies are made in Asian regional headquarters, so we are aligning our business closely to those of our clients,” says Kitchner.

Power2Motivate expects its strategy of charging no set-up or programming fees and no monthly administration fees, allowing its clients to only pay for points awarded, will be warmly welcomed in the Asian marketplace.

Kitchner says that recent updates have made Power2Motivate the most dynamic and robust performance management system available today. Updates include automation of birthdays awards, new Web 2.0 style User Interface, Sales Central - a solution that offers 256 different ways to measure and reward sales performance; and The Training Center, a SCORM-compliant training system that rewards those who successfully complete a client’s pre-existing or “off the shelf” e-Learning modules.

“I believe that once Asian businesses see the Power2Motivate system, they too will understand how easy it can be to engage their employees, customers and distribution channel partners across the region and across the world,” says Kitchner, who left Australia on October 3rd.
