Onboard & retain your new starters with The Business of Data Centers
Employee statistics show that if a company offers a great onboarding program, they can increase staff retention by up to 82% and reduce churn.
That’s why we developed The Business of Data Centers – a self-paced, digital learning platform specifically designed for bringing new starters and non-technical business support staff up-to-speed with the technicalities of the industry.
By learning the language of their technical colleagues and customers, they can have informed conversations immediately.
