Pre-IPO Corporate Training for Companies Getting Ready to go Public

Making the leap from private to public with an Initial Public Offering (IPO)? Congratulations, and as you’re well aware, immense opportunities are hopefully headed your way, but also a laundry list of regulations as you cross over from private to public. For starters, a publicly traded company is so vastly different from a privately held entity in so many ways, all the more reason for undertaking comprehensive employee awareness education and training initiatives prior to the IPO. With Centris, we offer a wide-range of highly customized offerings with our Pre-IPO corporate training solutions.

Stressful and exciting – two words to best sum up going public. But remove yourself from C level leadership and put yourself in your employee’s shoes. What are they feeling? Perhaps anxious and uncertain. Unclear as to the company’s future and their own job security. Your greatest asset to any organization are your people, so taking the time to clearly – and comprehensively – explain the IPO process and what it means for them is so important.
