Program Description:

Whether you think your contract employees are the answer to your prayers or a necessary evil, you are faced with the difficult challenge of managing the independent worker. Whatever the answer, you have to understand the needs and expectations of the contract employee in order to reap the benefits of their expertise and knowledge. You also need to manage your staff's expectations so they are not threatened or de-motivated by the higher premium (both pay and perceived special treatment) given to the contract employee. This workshop will:

• Provide an understanding of the values and priorities of the contract employee
• Help you avoid antagonizing the rest of your staff while you motivate the contract employee
• Give you specific actions and tools to get the best results from the contract employee despite the limitations on what you can and cannot do to appraise and reward their performance
