Equipping People to lead, engage, and stay.

Signature Keynote: The First-Year Experience Formula™

In today’s workplace, employees are evaluating their decision to stay long before you think they are. The First-Year Experience Formula™ keynote reveals the pivotal moments that shape a new hire’s sense of belonging, belief in the company, and desire to stay. Whether your organization offers rich benefits, a strong culture, or career development paths, it all falls flat without a strategy for engaging employees early and often.
