Companies face two main problems when it comes to new hires in the workforce:
Lack of Bridge Skills
(communication, accountability, time management, etc.)
Attrition of women in STEM,
resulting in hundreds of thousands in lost recruiting expenses and overhead.
The AdaMarie Solution:
AdaMarie’s one-year program upskills and increases retention of new hires (early to mid-level employees).
High touch for your new hires – teaching practical workplace skills (Zoom etiquette, time management, etc.) - Low touch for their managers.
Will save your company staggering attrition costs by offering new hires a safe place to receive support and give feedback.
“While 48% of HR managers believe they are providing adequate upskilling in their professional development programs, only 20% of employees feel they are receiving it.”
