What HR's Are Saying
We had a staff meeting and placed me on the Agenda to talk about our great staff.  Then, I talked about how we strived to provide tools and resources to assist our group in providing their very best on the job.  This book was no different.  I read the inside cover and everyone was just "beaming" when I finished.  We all clapped and each collected our book upon leaving the meeting. People emailed me and appreciated the fact that not only did we care enough to do this for them, but personalizing it made a difference too. Staffs have it at their desks and are encouraged to read it at any opportunity.  I do believe that with the humorous approach, it is not only entertaining but informative. Yes, it did have a positive impact.  It had an impact right from when it was distributed as a resource.  It has raised awareness of the importance of how the organization views positive relationships with each other as well as external stakeholders.  And, I think it has helped individuals look at these relational issues from a different perspective. We purchased one for each staff and are providing to new staff during orientation. I think it will still continue to be a part of our orientation program for years to come.

I really like the book. I think that your book is a very good primer and has just enough content to engage them, but not overwhelm them.
Michael J. Dote, Training and Development Manager,

My impression of the book is that it should be must reading for every employee.

LOVE IT.  As a Human Resources Trainer I think it is very well put together.  I love the binding and the labeled tabs, it makes it so easy to find what you're looking for.  Thanks for putting this together.

I hardly could put it down when I received it.

I LOVE it! I love the fact that it is positive, funny, and relevant. Once I saw the law of attraction on page 13, you had me hooked. Thank you very much for writing such an amazing book; it is an inspiration to have such a positive tool to use in the workplace and in the rest of life! Having such a book available for employees to read is a positive impact because it offers life lessons that people may lose sight of in their busy work day and lives. I would definitely recommend that this book be used for any company. In this time of labor shortages, I think it is a great employee retention strategy because it shows your employees that their well being is truly important to the employer.

I think this is an excellent book and would like to see it used across the entire organization of FRHG's 2000 employees. The life cycle of this material makes it a good long term reference covering the multiplicity of issues we routinely see here.

I have so enjoyed the “How to be a Great Employee”
Debbie Parnell, HR Specialist,
American Airlines Federal Credit Union

I find the deeper I delve into How to be a Great Employee the more I can understand how to relate to my front line employees with humour and tact.  Many of the topics and illustrations are helpful in bringing light to the abyss of everyday business. I have fun reading How to be a Great Employee and employees in all different realms of business will too. How to be a Great Employee has an exceptional grasp of the mindset that frontline employees carry. I am enjoying the reading and exercises as well. The cartoons are a great comic relief, which is often overlooked in the office.

I love the book!  It will be a valuable tool for our company.
Racine Martin, HR, Basic Resources      

I too have read and LOVED the book.  I think it will be a great tool to all employees but especially those that are just starting out in the workforce. When reviewing this book, I was reminded of many ways to be that great employee and not to get "caught up" in some of the issues. I think it'll give many readers great satisfaction.

I do have to tell you, though, that I think your books are FANTASTIC!!!  I have so enjoyed reading them and have learned a lot; a lot about myself and others.  It has amazed me throughout the books what I now can see.  You have opened my eyes.
