“Based upon my 25 year professional career in Human Resources ranging from Fortune 50 companies to small start-ups, and being asked to teach at the college level, it is abundantly clear that any organization leveraging the power of the Success with People system can harness the collective energy of its people in a directed manner to propel the organization to achieve its goals. Having known and been with Dave at a start-up, I recommend combining this system along with a strong motivational management style and organizational culture to create a winning combination.”

Praise for 
“I have tried to survey my staff in the past through self built means, but never got very meaningful results or much participation. The Best Tech Workplace survey gave me a way to get my staff to take part since it was done by a third party and gave me results that meant something and I could take action on. Dave with Success with People really helped me understand where we were coming up short in our leadership and how to correct it. Anyone that cares about their staffs wellbeing and how that effects how their company performs should take advantage of this survey.”
Robert C. Betzel, CEO, Infinity Network Solutions, Inc.
“What an honor to be selected as one of the Best Tech Workplaces in 2010! David Russell and Success With People have provided me with some incredibly insightful information on how our team feels about their job, the company, and the management. It was great to get confirmation that all of our hard work is paying off with our employees while also giving me some better ideas on where we still need to improve. I highly encourage any company to go through this exercise in order to get a realistic picture of how their employees feel.”
Garrett Brucker, President, Solve IT
“Taking part in the BTW survey was a fantastic opportunity for us to understand how our employees we’re engaged with the business. It also allowed us to compare our staff ratings to others in the group and get a benchmark from the results on what areas we needed to improve on. The BTW survey pinpointed key leadership points that we could enhance to build the organisation to where it needs to be. People are core to what we do as an IT services company and this is a powerful way of measuring and growing that.”
Zaun Bhana, Operations Director, Leap Consulting
“The confidential structure of the Best Tech Workplace survey enabled our employees to be candid so we now better understand their true feelings about our company. In reviewing the results of our survey the takeaway that most resonated with me was the need and importance of transforming our staff from passive participation to passionate involvement. Now we are focusing on the transformative steps required to get there.”
Ken Teal, Internet and Telephone
“At NTS we have been involved with many surveys to ensure we are running our business correctly for our staff and for our customers. By far, this is the most effective and significant employee survey we have ever done. Although our #2 finish among all the companies in the Spring 2010 survey confirms we are doing many things right, the feedback also gave me ideas on how to grow our company to the next level. It was well worth the small amount of time it took to participate."
Scott Mallet, Network Technology Solutions
“Reviewing the results of the Best Tech Workplaces survey gave me insight to better understand what is important to our work force.

It is an easy survey process that provides powerful, rich data about our most valuable asset – our employees.”
Sonia St. Charles, CEO, Davenport Group
