Amy conducted focus groups with my entire department and was able to quickly establish a rapport with all participants that resulted in honest, actionable feedback.  Their ability to solicit feedback with all personality types resulted in an action plan that truly represented the needs of our employees.  With their help – our next employee satisfaction survey resulted in the highest scores since we began the survey!  Lisa Stevens
