Workplace-Ready
From Day One
Hiring is harder and retention is more critical than ever.
Developing talent has always been central to organizational success.
Now it starts earlier: equipping employees with workplace fundamentals from day one.
75% of recent hires fail to meet expectations, learning workplace basics through costly trial and error that damages productivity and strains management.
The New Hire Challenge
The Workplace Fundamentals Gap
New hires arrive with technical skills but lack the workplace fundamentals that drive success.
These skills are no longer taught or assumed, yet employers expect & need them from day one.
The Cost of the Trial-and-Error Cycle
$14,000 average loss per new hire who leaves.
$4,700 average replacement cost.
Up to 2 years for full productivity.
The Real Rules eliminates the expensive mistakes that lead to slow integration and early separation.
The Management Time Investment
Managers are teaching workplace basics instead of coaching strategic thinking and developing future leaders.
Proactive training frees them to focus on growth.
Our Vision
Every new hire should enter the workplace equipped with the workplace navigation, communication, and professional judgment skills that drive success from day one.
