 "How do you handle an employee who is accused of harassing a co-worker, after learning he has a criminal history?
 Or, what is the proper way to shut down an entire office that is unproductive?
 Or, what do you do if a critical senior officer is accused of making "overtures" to a subordinate?
We could not have survived all three situations without the capable and sensitive assistance of Carole Edman and her resource team."
- Robert, client at prestigious national financial services company

"There was plenty of interaction, and good up-to-date information....
It was great, and I'd recommend you come back next year and update us on how the laws on harassment change....
