Manager Essentials
Leading from the Middle is challenging. Middle Managers need to meet the demands from above while providing resources to those below. Their boss has goals for them, their direct reports have questions, and they are constantly getting pulled in two directions. They want to become better leaders and advance, but they need new skills in order to do that effectively. MRC’s Manager Essentials program was developed to give these leaders the tools they need to be successful.

Customer Service
Companies invest in customer service training to increase customer satisfaction and brand loyalty. Here’s how customer service training benefits your business:
Higher Employee Motivation; Increased Customer Satisfaction, Loyalty, and Retention; and More Profits
The MRC difference: MRC’s comprehensive Customer Experience development program enables service providers to understand customers’ wants and needs to turn ordinary interactions into extraordinary experiences.

Onboarding
The onboarding process is very important. According to a survey conducted by Careerbuilder and Silkroad Technology, 9% of employees leave their company because of a poor onboarding experience, and 37% percent of employees said their manager did not play a critical role in their onboarding either. According to this research, without proper onboarding procedures there is a loss of productivity and employee turnover increases. Decreased employee engagement costs companies large sums of money every year.
