Forgeant's Website Request an Intro

People make your business. They are your business. Their experience is your customers’ experience. You need the best people to be competitive, and you need them to stay. We teach managers how to create an experience that employees never want to leave. And, we do it at scale.

Never has the need for human connections been more difficult and more important. Being physically absent makes building relationships and creating community that much harder. Looking to the future, when the COVID-19 crisis ends, the talent war will return by a factor ten. Organizations who aren’t actively trying to create the best experience possible for their employees, will see a mass exodus and be left trying to recover with bottom-of-the-barrel talent. Industry experts estimate a 50% turnover in the first 12 months after COVID restrictions are lifted.
80% of that turnover and/or resultant low productivity in the workplace is the result of bad managers. When people leave, it is almost always because of a negative relationship with their manager.
Turnover kills morale, productivity and is very expensive (in both money and time). To create a place where employees want to stay, we have to create a company full of incredible leaders who actively build positive relationships with their people.
We are the first SAAS solution that blends employee engagement with leadership training to drive actual, substantial behavior change.
Our innovative employee feedback collection process allows us to understand the sentiment of an organization in real time. With that live feed on the employee experience, we react to deviations from the norm using our chatbot. The chatbot results generate a custom leadership training module using content pulled from our Forgeant library.
With these custom, AI-driven trainings, managers receive actionable next steps on how to become the leader their people need and want.
Forgeant is the solution to making sure your people love where they work.
