Question 6

Do you require an Annual Subscription?

Accepted Answer

A great Error Prevention program is not a one and done training session.  Your EP360 subscription provides training, weekly team meeting videos with discussion questions and an online knowledge center filled with valuable content for your program.    We have found that simply putting people through training alone grows less effective over time.  EP360 was designed to provide the ongoing team discussions needed to keep Error Prevention top of mind, and to provide an opportunity for leaders and employees to focus on issues particular to their team and their tasks.
