MyCUsurvey Launches Standardized Employee Engagement Survey to Assess Employee Satisfaction for Credit Unions


Newest Survey Service Provides Cost-Effective, Turnkey Tool for Credit Union Managers to Measure Branch Performance Using Seven Key Performance Metrics.

EMERYVILLE, Calif. (June 07, 2011) -- MyCUsurvey (http://www.mycusurvey.com), the latest online, low-cost, web-based research tool designed specifically for credit unions, today announced the release of the MyCUsurvey Employee Engagement Survey. This new research service has been designed specifically to provide credit union managers with an affordable, standardized approach to conduct employee satisfaction surveys to help gauge branch performance. The new Employee Engagement Survey will be demonstrated for the first time at ACUC, the America’s Credit Union Conference and Expo, June 19 – 21, in San Antonio, Texas.

MyCUsurvey’s Employee Engagement Survey was created specifically for credit unions to measure employee loyalty and satisfaction. Rather than creating your own survey, MyCUsurvey offers preconfigured survey templates designed specifically for credit union managers, measuring seven key areas of employee satisfaction. The Employee Engagement Survey measures:

- The Management Team, including the strengths and effectiveness of executive staff;
- Teamwork, including morale and shared goals of the team;
- The Mission and Goals of the Credit Union, including understanding and commitment to the mission and goals;
- Opportunities for Growth, including promotional opportunities, compensation, benefits, and training;
- Communications, especially whether internal communications are clear, fair, and effective;
- Standard of Quality, such as accountability and the effectiveness of doing business; and
- Likelihood of Respondents to Recommend the credit unions to family and friends.

The surveys are conducted using MyCUsurvey’s integrated Web/IVR (interactive voice response) system so there is no risk of interviewer bias.

Our latest member satisfaction benchmark survey reveals that the in-branch and telephone experience is a crucial factor in promoting member loyalty. That means employee satisfaction is more important than ever, since happy credit union staff is more likely to promote a positive member experience,” said Dr. Jack Bieda, founder of MyCUsurvey. “Any credit union that cares about customer service needs to assess employee satisfaction regularly to make sure their branches are delivering the best possible member experience.”

Like the MyCUsurvey member satisfaction survey, the Employee Engagement Survey is delivered using standardized templates, and the results accessed through the MyCUsurvey web portal, so there is no need to hire additional staff to compose the survey and compile the results. Surveys are available starting at $700 for 100 employee responses.

MyCUsurvey also offers a branch member satisfaction survey. Other surveys, including an Overall Satisfaction Survey, Loan and Services Survey, Competitive Survey, and Lost Account Survey, are scheduled for release later this year. For more information, visit http://www.mycusurvey.com.

IAPAM's Physician hCG Training Leads the Industry


The IAPAM is committed to educating physicians in the industry’s best practices for hCG for weight loss. In support of this commitment, the IAPAM's hCG Training offers physicians an hGG Training program of unsurpassed clinical and business content on hCG and medical weight management. Attendees receive all the tools needed to launch an hCG for weight loss program, and graduates of the IAPAM's hCG Training say it is the best in the industry.

Las Vegas, NV, June 07, 2011 -- Obesity is an epidemic in the United States, and more and more patients are requesting hCG for weight loss programs from their physicians. In a recent interview to KATV in Arkansas (http://www.katv.com/story/14688505/hcg-diet-helps-shed-weight-fast-but-is-it-safe), Dr. Suzanne Yee, a cosmetic surgeon in Little Rock and an attendee of the IAPAM's hCG Physician Training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/physician-hcg-weight-loss-training), attested to the popularity and success of hCG for weight loss. "It decreases your appetite," says Dr. Yee, "so you don't feel hungry even though you're on a 500-calorie diet. And it mobilizes 1000 to 1500 calories of fat from your own body."

However, before launching an hCG for Weight Loss program, physicians must be expertly trained in the delivery of an hCG Protocol to ensure success and safety for their patients.

The IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) has created the most comprehensive hCG for Medical Weight Management program. Physicians and their staff learn the exclusive IAPAM hCG for Weight Loss Protocol, based on Dr. Simeons manuscript, Pounds and Inches (http://www.iapam.com/dr-simeons-pounds-and-inches-manuscript.html). Physicians, who attend the IAPAM’s hCG training learn hCG best practices from the IAPAM’s members and faculty (physicians, pharmacists, laser assisted lipolysis specialists and business experts), all of whom have years of experience utilizing hCG for weight loss, and many of whom operate successful hCG weight loss clinics.

The IAPAM's program gives physicians "everything they need to start offering hCG and medical weight loss programs to their patients immediately upon returning to their practices," emphasizes Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the IAPAM, and one of the IAPAM faculty instructors presenting at the IAPAM's hCG training. The IAPAM seminar includes:

- A detailed overview of the exclusive IAPAM hCG Protocol & best practices;
- Understanding of VLCD/LCD diet programs;
- Patient selection criteria;
- Common medical contraindications;
- Current FDA status & requirements;
- Legal/Insurance considerations and special access to hCG Medical Malpractice Insurance Program; and
- hCG and Weight Loss Practice Advertising & Marketing Tips and Strategies.

Attendees also receive the following program resources:

- Patient hCG Program book to offer patients (with hCG friendly recipes, a food journal, tips, etc.);
- Weight Management Practice Operational Manual;
- Patient Charting Forms, Medical History & hCG Consent Forms; and
- Special Pricing for hCG and Meal Replacement Products.

Jeff Russell reinforces, "we not only cover hCG for weight loss, but also: B6/B12 injections, lipotropic injections, pharmacology, supplements & lipase inhibitors, ketogenic diets, VLCD/LCD, and meal replacement programs." Finally, the IAPAM's full day hCG training is the only hCG training in North America approved for a special medical malpractice rate for those who have attended and have been certified by the IAPAM.

All of the IAPAM's 2010 and 2011 hCG Medical Weight Management seminars have sold out, so to register for the next session in Scottsdale, Arizona, please see http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/physician-hcg-weight-loss-training, or contact the IAPAM at info@theiapam.com or 1-800-219-5108 ext 708.

Georgetown, Texas, June 07, 2011 -- Ecomajik Companies, a subsidiary of Advertising Majik Corporation, has announced the opening of an office in Georgetown, Texas.

The company utilizes Space Certified Technology developed for NASA and manufactured by Dallas based Vollara Inc. to kill all allergens, bacteria, mold and viruses naturally and without harmful chemicals.

Two peer review scientific studies conducted by the University of Cincinnati and Kansas State University have validated the companies claims. Their products kill all known viruses including H1N1, MRSA, STAPH, E-Coli, CDIF and Anthrax in the air AND on surfaces. They also remove all allergens, bacterias and mold from the air using the same natural elements found in sunshine and thunderstorms.

"Our products are especially useful for childcare and daycare centers as well as doctors offices, veterinarians and even haircare and nail salons as the technology also removes all odors, even powerful odors like ammonia, often within minutes." noted C. Frederick Braun, company CEO. "The best news is it is affordable with total home and office systems generally costing below $1,000. It is a great investment for the health of your family, employees or customers." he added.

Ecomajik will soon be opening a product showroom. Until then interested customers can test drive the products at no obligation for five days in their home or office.

"There is very little selling in our business," Braun noted. "Once people experience this technology in their home for a few days, they can't imagine ever being without it." he added.
