Discover ATD Intensive

Many frontline organizations are at a breaking point. Turnover is high, especially in the first 90 to 120 days. Managers are often burned out and lack the time to provide effective coaching. Onboarding is overloaded, leaving people to “figure it out” on the job. Frontline workers serve customers, keep operations moving, and represent your brand more than anyone else. Yet they are often the least supported when it comes to learning, enablement, and career growth.

ATD Intensive: Powering Frontline Performance exists because that gap now creates real risk for retention, performance, and the bottom line. At its core, Powering Frontline Performance focuses on designing support that matches the true importance of the frontline.
