Good people create a good image for any organization and it all starts with creating the right environment; an environment that sometimes also requires firing an EMT. We will discuss when and how to make this negative be as positive as possible. During this 90-minute presentation that you can access over the internet, you will:
1. Understand the proper interviewing process.
2. Gain key tips in hiring the right EMT.
