Poor performing and difficult employees can suck the life out of their supervisors and their organizations. Let MCA give you the upper hand.

Our practical real-world approaches to dealing with problem employees will give you a new perspective on your role as a supervisor or manager. We focus on making disciplinary due process, the world of internal affairs/employee discipline and performance evaluation easy to understand. We then provide the interpersonal skills training you need to take on problem employees successfully. This is straight forward material without the gimmicks or touchy-feely approaches many other leadership and employee discipline courses propose.
