Progressive contact centers today face exciting challenges in creating high performance work environments.  This can be very rewarding; however, one of the toughest parts of managing in this environment involves the work you have to do to manage poor performance.  Join us for an interactive session on the five things you can do to reduce claims at the back-end of the employment relationship.

•  Correctly define and describe the job
•  Do employee background checks

•  Deal with employee problems

•  Use employment contracts or hiring letters that include termination provisions
•  Create a workplace environment that respects human rights
