The Right Way to Solve Your People Problems
Featuring Certified EOS Implementer™ Alex Freytag of ProfitWorks

We recently published a post about why confidential searches are the wrong way to handle the replacement of “problem employees.” In this post, we are going to talk about the right way to handle an underperforming employee.

The ability to solve your people challenges is a decisive factor in the growth of your business. It’s something we are passionate about here at VisionSpark, and we know it’s important to growth-oriented business leaders whose companies run on EOS®. To tackle this topic, we enlisted the help of Certified EOS Implementer and entrepreneur Alex Freytag. The following post is taken from an interview with him and represents his expertise.

Outside of work, she loves spending her time at the farmers market, going to cookouts, having a bonfire, and going on walks with her family. When she has time to travel, Disney and Universal Studios theme parks are her go-tos!
