When running a business, you're likely to face challenges that affect both your business and your employees. Sometimes these challenges are small, such as introducing a new staff training program. Other times they're large, such as a significant fall in sales. Best practice employers examine and talk about these challenges with their staff. They aim for a genuine exchange of information and opinions and collaborate to reach solutions.
