Then they work with physicians and their staffs to help them navigate the complex reimbursement process. Our goal in providing these advanced products and expert service is that they will remove the barriers that might prevent patients from accessing the full range of treatment options they deserve. It’s a challenge that their team takes personally. Tides Medical’s team of dedicated professionals works every day to fulfill the company’s mission of revolutionizing access to the power of birth tissue technology. From the tissue bank, to the corporate office, to the sales agents throughout the country, each Tides team member is personally invested in supporting their customers and their patients.

Situation

SLCC MEP of LA Regional Manager Cassie Adams was aware that Tides Medical was expanding, particularly the Tissue Bank where their products are manufactured. It was then that Adams knew an IWTP Employee Retention grant was needed.

Solution

When SLCC MEP of LA started with the IWTP grant for Tides Medical, the company in Louisiana had only 49 employees. Throughout the process of the Employee Retention grant, Tides Medical was able to double to 110 employees. The grant trained their employees in courses such as Behavioral Interview, Creating an Outstanding Customer Experience, Developing Positive Relationships at Work, Effective Team Leadership, and much more. These courses ultimately assisted Tides Medical’s new leadership in their roles and advancement as well as taught them how to work together as a team, communication, and how to conduct interviews. The company also learned how to efficiently run computers with training in Excel, Word, and PowerPoint for presentations. Tides Medical also gained information on Supply Chain and CRM training. The knowledge gained by the company throughout the duration of the training could be seen as the start of many successful outcomes in the future!
