A great start for new team members

New Account Manager Onboarding Program – Runner-up: Best Onboarding or Induction Program

We know that setting people up for long-term success from day one is key.

That’s why we created a structured, six-week onboarding program for new Account Managers, blending learning modules with real-world experiences.

Here’s what the program has achieved so far:

  • Saved over $477,000 by reducing turnover and hiring costs

  • Achieved a 95% pass rate on final assessments in 2024

  • Boosted confidence and engagement through buddy support and hands-on learning

Creating pathways for women in leadership

Green Light: Emerging Leadership Program for Women – Third Place: Best Diversity & Inclusion Program

Leadership should be for everyone — and our Green Light program is helping make that a reality. Designed to support aspiring women leaders, it’s part of our broader mission to build a more diverse and equitable workplace.

The results speak for themselves:

  • Women in executive succession plans grew from 4 to 7

  • Director-level succession planning for women jumped from 1 to 30

  • Promotions of women nearly doubled — from 8 to 14 in just one year

  • Participants rated the experience highly, with NPS scores of +79 in 2023 and +47 in 2024

  • The program builds core leadership skills like self-awareness, communication, and resilience

Recognition that reflects our values

These awards highlight what we believe in: that investing in people is one of the most powerful things a business can do.

We're proud to deliver learning experiences that spark growth, build capability, and create inclusive pathways to leadership.

A big thank you to every team member, participant, and partner who helped make these programs a success. We’re just getting started.
