ANECDOTAL RESULTS Feedback from the Vice President of Human Resources of a global manufacturing company that had used SynTactSolutions, Inc. to delivery Business development, Diversity, and
Worplace Conduct Training:"We made a major investment in putting more than 250 employees through comprehensive training on these very important matters. We weren't sure how seriously our employees would take
their responsibility to advocate for diversity and respectful behavior at the workplace." "Recently, and not long after the training, we had an incident whereby a line employee transmitted an e-mail message including
derogatory racial and sexual statements. Our employees picked up on it immediately and initiated proper problem solving procedures as they had learned from the training and as outlined in our company policies." The
situation was addressed and solved immediately to everyone's satisfaction. We have our employees to thank for that and know that the investment we made in the SynTactSolutions Training has already paid off for us."
