We've used two different approaches in recent years. Firstly we used to hold a (paid) training session around October/November each year, to make sure there wasn't a long break between the visits to site. It was also a useful way to get everyone…

This subject firmly gets me on my hobby horse - when we don't communicate well with candidates (and despite best efforts it does happen sometimes), it has much wider impacts.

If you…
