Review: ?I would heartily recommend this book for the Human Resource professional who needs a quick, practical proposal of solutions to our current problems. For those of us in the EAP field with little or no HR experience, it certainly should find a place on our bookshelves. Otherwise, we risk becoming dated in our knowledge of HR strategy.

We must be able to talk their language. Many of us, of course, are part of the quality movements within our corporations and can apply many of the concepts to our own programming.?-Journal of Employee Assistance Research
