Should an employer overlook lack of qualification for a position? What should be done with unproductive employees? How should an employer treat an employee who doesn’t show up for work on time on a consistent basis? What should be done about drama-loving employees? How can employers handle employees looking for a way to not work? Should employers hire someone with a criminal history? These and many other issues will be covered during this one-hour webinar presentation.
