🔸We are a remote agency and need to create a great culture where people feel they can be themselves and create a good future for them and their families.
🔸Here is a layout of how we handle engaging with our employees and helping them succeed in the agency, professionally, and personally. They are what requires our most significant investment.
This goes along with employees, we need to always find new things in the industry to learn from and add to our training. An educated workforce is an effective workforce. Right now we created classes in phases (1 is EZlynx 2 is StreetSmart 3 is insurance tips and tech stuff, 4 is our processes. We need to be on the lookout for new training tools like TotalCSR, industry changes and DESIGNATIONS.
This will also take some coordination with team leads if there is something they need help with training to create in Google Classroom

🔸Our main 3 goals with the automation center are marketing, preventive measures, and E&O prevention. Automations can be applied to both clients and employees. To ensure that automations are sent to the appropriate recipients, we sometimes filter them based on specific criteria. These criteria may include manual or download policies, lines of business (LOBs), or even the designated agent.
Here are all of the technology vendors we use.
