90-Day Kits - Set the Foundation for Success

Research consistently highlights the pivotal significance of the first 90 days in a new job. Studies indicate that this initial period sets the foundation for long-term success and career trajectory within an organization. Key findings suggest that effective navigation of the first 90 days leads to higher job satisfaction, increased retention rates, and accelerated integration into company culture. Furthermore, successful onboarding during this timeframe correlates with heightened productivity, improved performance, and stronger professional relationships. Overall, the research underscores the critical importance of strategic focus and proactive engagement during the early stages of employment to optimize outcomes and maximize career potential.

Gift Card Drives 

Providing additional support in the form of gift cards during the first weeks of work can contribute to a smoother transition, increased engagement, and a positive experience for the woman as she embarks on her new professional journey.
