"After 23 years at Hewlett-Packard, ReInventing Work is the first change process I have been able to get my arms around. The concepts are easy to understand, easy to discuss with my teams and have helped us achieve tremendous results for our employees, our customers and our shareholders."
Dave Smith, Area Manager, Field Operations, Hewlett-Packard
"I found 'Reinventing Work: Relinking Life and Livelihood' to be a refreshing, practical look at how to integrate work with the rest of one's life. This approach moves beyond traditional thinking that a company's interests are pursued at the expense of worker well being and vice versa. The dual agenda espoused in this work allows for both the business strategic imperatives and the employees' work-life needs to be met simultaneously."
Ronn Ellis - former Chief Information Officer, Amerada Hess
"All the programs in the world won't change the company culture that says: 'Time worked equals commitment'. Or the one that says: 'The employee who is still there at 7 p.m. is the one who's the most productive and the most valued.'
"This workbook (ReInventing Work: Innovative Strategies Relinking Life and Livelihood to Benefit Business and Staff) is one of the few resources in the nation -- maybe the only one -- that truly reflects the latest learning in how to transform a culture and make work-life efforts truly succeed."
Susan Seitel, President, Work & Family Connection
"This is the only resource that I have found that provides encouragement and support for work groups and their manager to sit down and TALK about what is getting in the way of higher productivity AND better work-life balance for each of them. Practical information on testing assumptions, challenging ways of doing work and looking at new solutions will help you and your work group increase creativity, productivity while everyone can have a life too!"
Janet McChesney, Director of Education, Hewlett-Packard Canada Ltd.
