"There's a lot of data at our fingertips with the 10KC platform, which is fantastic. We've been able to customize it to focus on those things that are really important to us as a business. Specifically for our people and culture."

“It went from mentorship in smaller pockets across the company to a business-centered, application-based program that focused on creating visibility and career development opportunities for both mentees and mentors.”

"10KC caught our eye with the technology and the capabilities. But you really gained our trust with how you've shown up with and for us at each step along the way."

Latraviette Smith-Wilson

Chief Marketing and Equity Officer

"[10KC] became an argument that was self made. It's kind of a no brainer. We can decrease attrition, save money for the company, but then also really improve the overall employee experience.”
