FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why did we produce this kit?
We have been working with companies and tackling problems associated with effective employee communication issues in the workplace for nearly 30 years. We have seen it all. Therefore, we decided to give employers a fast, easy, and effective solution to make an impact right away on disharmony in the workplace that results from problematic employee behavior. Here is the underlying motivation: RISK.

Risk of violence of the worst kind, lost productivity, and stress. Sure you could use a series of expensive workshops to help improve workplace harmony and a more complicated solution, but you should wait for that day. It may never arrive. So, we offer a quick, and what we believe is an effective solution on this page. We literally believe we could possibly save lives with this package. Is there any better motivation?

2. How do I use this kit?
There are nine tip sheets in this kit. We suggest that you make them available to employees over a period of two to three weeks. Simply distribute and give a prize or award points for every employee reading each one. Each is filled with how-to, to-dos, don'ts, and practical ideas. The supervisor Flash files are copied to a CD once you download them from our emailed package. This CD is passed around to supervisors.

3. Is there a guarantee for this kit?
Yes. If you do not see improvements within 7 days--noticeable improvements that make you say, "geez -- it worked!", a refund is yours--a 100% refund. What about the kit? You keep it. So this is all at our risk.

There are no tricks to improving effective employee communication. There is no magic to it. However, the most important is education, self-awareness, and management expectations.These tools will help interrupt the limiting pattern, improve self-awareness, and have everyone seeing and feeling a new attitude of cooperation. It will also be important later that management decide problematic behavior needs correction when it happens or that respect problems be addressed.
