MEP's Role

After review of the desired outcomes, it was apparent that a comprehensive training program was required to meet company goals, sales, and customer satisfaction. Dedden presented a training program that covered window removal and installation, customer service, document routing and on the job experience with seasoned installers. The training began in January 2022 and ended in March 2022. The delivered training helped stabilize production to help meet the increased sales level.
