Engagement & Connection


A significant portion of the workforce feels disconnected from the companies they work for. “The Great Resignation” is happening where 41% of employees were considering leaving their employer (in 2021) and that rises to 54% for Gen Z.


Your employees will be more connected to the work they do and the services they provide when you invest in them through training. This also allows staff to become more integrated into the climbing community through more meaningful interactions.

Recognition


69% of employees would be more likely to stay at a company if they received more recognition.


We can help deliver genuine and meaningful recognition through course completion incentives that are cost-effective and advantageous for your organization.

Hire Vibe Setters


Hire for Enthusiasm and Hospitality, Train on Climbing


Community building skills do not come naturally or easily for most people and can be tough to train. Finding well-informed climbers who are stoked to engage with customers can also feel next to impossible.


A comprehensive training platform allows you to hire for customer service skills and train the nuances of climbing in a structured and supportive environment.


Relatable Staff


  • Make guests feel like they belong
  • Remember faces and welcome them back
  • Share knowledge and create spaces for informed learning
  • Know your members and have insight into their needs and opinions
  • Make sure the community is informed on events, changes, and policies




Members and Guests Experience The Difference




Guests seek helpful interactions with knowledgable employees


  • Make more informed retail decisions thanks to staff assistance
  • Develop confidence in the gym's safety protocols and policies
  • Feel like a part of a community that values them through engaging conversations
  • Identify your gym as a valuable resource to get more information about climbing
  • Experience gym employees as the experts they expect them to be
  • Gain confidence in their own abilities making them more likely to invite other people to join them at the gym





Gear experts engage in more effective and compelling conversations when addressing safety issues and selling products


Essential Gear Education


  • Climbing shoes
  • Harnesses
  • Carabiners
  • Belay devices
  • Ropes
  • Gym Safety Protocols
  • Route setting need-to-know
  • Auto belay need-to-know


Each topic will include multiple engaging segments that will fully cover the what, how, and why. Not only will the employee become an expert themselves, they’ll also be able to relay this detailed information to customers thanks to case studies, examples, and memorable metaphors and analogies.



The platform makes a difference


Engaging for All Employees


  • Learning targeted to all levels of skill and experience
  • Common vocabulary for staff to understand and explain gear in context to your visitors
  • Closed captioning included to increase accessibility
  • Testing and assessments to ensure retention
  • Coursework synced and accessible on desktop and mobile
  • Course completion incentives
