Praise for the Respectful Workplace Series

“We have rolled out all of the harassment programs to all lawyers and staff across all offices. The feedback has been incredible!

I even had a partner in the corporate group compliment us, saying it was the best teaching tool he has seen on this topic. He asked me for your contact information so he could pass it on to a client. Thank you for always making us look good!"

Cindy Haynes, U.S. Director of Talent Development

“I have looked at several of these types of programs over the past two years and found that so many of them send the wrong messages. So, I was thrilled when I saw yours.

I thought your programs respected our lawyers’ intelligence and respected their time. You should be proud of what you created.”
