This 60-minute program will focus on the importance of making sure all employees are onboard when it comes to filling in paperwork accurately, and what can happen if it isn’t.
it will give you insight on how sloppy paperwork can diminish your great reputation, create a lasting impression of carelessness, and how it may have an enormous financial impact if you end up being litigated.
