Integrated Business Resources (IBR) Announces Formal Launch of Comfort
Zone Version 3.0 with Enhanced User Experience to Customers

Denver, CO – (August 3, 2015) – Integrated Business Resources (IBR), a recognized leader in technology to help employers close the gap between current and potential employee performance, officially announced today an upgraded version of their popular Comfort Zone program with improved features and additional security provisions.

“Our unique program, already gathering critical data to enable employers to identify the factors that impede worker performance, now complies with even higher security scrutiny as we engage even larger clients around the globe”, says Chief Technology Officer, Mike Bush. “Enhanced user experience also enables employees to report information in a shorter time frame as well.”

A key action item from the latest Society of Human Resource Managers (SHRM) Workplace Forecast, states that linking employee performance and its impact on the organization’s business goals is important to nearly two thirds of respondents. So how large is this gap? “IBR’s empirical data and related research, shows that over 50% of productivity is lost per employee per year. Employers are providing a full year’s salary but only receiving about half of the employee’s productivity due to this gap. This is occurring at a time when they must optimize worker performance in an increasingly competitive marketplace”, stated James (Jim) Fasone, President and CEO.
