If you are in charge of 30 people and there were 5 that were doing really well, 10 that were mediocre and 5 that were just not doing their job and not putting in any effort, how would you effectively better the situation?

Next I would have one on one with the 10 mediocre employees and find ways to motivate them to want to do better or see if them too need additional training or guidance.

Would you rate face to face, blended or computer based training the best? Why and where specifically have you used each in sales training, leadership development, and customer service training?
1 Answers↳
I would rate blended training the best because it allows you to be flexible by letting you teach the more difficult material in class and save the easier material for the computer, where employees can go at their own pace. Less
