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.

Based on a study conducted by Acheivers
