The harassment prevention training was engaging, relevant and interactive. There was not a moment of boredom. The real life stories and examples brought the training to life. The instructor was very knowledgeable on the subject matter and brought the material "down to earth." She was able to deliver an equally impressive training in both English and Spanish that all levels of employees could grasp. Her training on Legal Issues in Hiring and Employee Discipline, for managers, opened our eyes to all of the potential issues we face on a daily basis. This training is a must for all managers everywhere!
