However, according to Veritude, implementing an RPO engagement may prove risky and actually decrease performance if not managed correctly. Jim McCoy, SVP of Consulting Services for Veritude, said, "Implementing an RPO program requires advanced planning and preparation in order to make a positive impact on the strategic direction of an organization. We have implemented RPO solutions that have elevated customer service ratings, reduced workforce turnover and achieved measurable improvements in transactions per employee."
