Do you ever wonder if an employees' particular behavior is truly helpful? Using the list below you can set expectations for your team and then your job of holding them accountable becomes much easier. Go over the list with your team and give them examples to consider for each area you feel is most important. Stay tuned for future blogs regarding employee confidentiality and an example of a "full value" contract.
Sincerely, David Milligan
