One possibility could be tightening up hiring policies for certain types of jobs to bring them in line with other large companies.
Virgin Salesman, what do you think? You're the one who posted on here and I am kinda confused as to what you hoped to gain from posting in the first place. Any colleagues with criminal records fired? Tigher policies? Your moment in the spotlight if some local media maybe writes a story when you resign?

I have kept a low profile since my original points were raised. This has created more attention than I originally thought it would.
What I would like to see is VM change their current recruitment policy and CRB check all new F2F recruits.
I would also like to see all our current face to face staff complete a CRB, VM could then make a decision on whether they would continue to allow these people to sell (based on how severe (or not) the check was on the individual).
VM wants to be a big player in the market but with our current recruitment policies we are only leaving ourselves open to abuse from customers and the media regarding the calibre of our staff.
Direct sales already has a bad reputation, I would like to see it cleaned up - other companies (including Sky - working in the same market) are doing their bit so why shouldnt we? Lets make F2F selling a better place with better people who are not just looking after their own interests.
