How Sally Beauty Minimizes Loss & Protects Lone Workers

LP professionals must constantly peek around the corner to identify potential disruptions to their business and mitigate the associated risks.

We discuss:
- Safeguarding employees across thousands of locations

- Why effective communication is about speed, accuracy, and knowledge
- Networking and sharing information with peers in the industry
