Businesses usually have a set of guidelines for employees to comply with, followed by a performance measure of those employees. What corporate leadership rarely factors in though is a cross-check between performance and compliance.

The question they should ask, but rarely do, is:

Is performance affected by compliance? 

Alex Santos will answer these and many other important questions business owners usually have when it comes to team management within their business.

With over 20 years of professional experience, Alex’s work in the private industry has focused heavily on the development of learning systems that transform employee performance from ordinary to remarkable. His expertise lies in building systems that support and reward service excellence at every level of the organization.
