In the fifth podcast with AgriSync, we talk about measuring the customer experience. If you can't measure customer experience, you can't manage it.

To take a closer look at this, we talk to the team at HTS Ag to explore what they are doing to support their customers whether they are 5 minutes or 5 hours away.

In the second podcast with AgriSync, we first talk about recruiting and hiring new ag employees and why it can often be so difficult, and then we dive into working with different generations in the workplace. What should you consider? What’s the big fuss about Millennials?  And why are they different than working with other generations?
