The pharmaceutical promotional landscape continues to change at a rapid pace while opportunities for brand growth are still highly dependent upon face-to-face promotion. At the very least, a live interaction still secures the highest impact in the market – whether it be in person, over the phone, or connecting via 2-way streaming video. The challenge is to maximize that live interaction with customers – both Health Care Providers and Patients – while maintaining a high level of flexibility and agility in the marketplace. Many times this means outsourcing sales and clinical headcount which has inherent risks of developing a co employment situation.
This webinar will review how to manage various working relationships while being aware of the challenges with co employment. Insight will be provided into the general principles of co employment best practices with a view on providing practical insight on how to handle general arrangements of the employment relationship.
The presenters will discuss case studies, best practices, and the various alternatives to approaching the marketplace while reducing co employment risk. Note: This webinar does not constitute legal advice.
