Erica Pinsky
"Having known and worked with Erica Pinsky for many years, I was delighted to hear that she intended to put her practical lessons in building a respectful workplace culture into a book. And the book is everything one might hope it to be. A frank assessment of power, fear and disrespectful behaviours in the workplace, and the solutions needed to turn it around. A must for employers needing to avoid human rights liability, but also for creating a wonderful place to work for everybody."

Organizations that create and maintain such an environment will have superior employee performance and gain a recruiting and retention advantage. Erica is a passionate and skilled advocate for the type of respectful workplace all forward looking corporations are trying to achieve. Road To Respect will show employers how to get there."

"Erica Pinsky has hit on what is, for both employees and employers the key to sustained business success; an organizational culture embodying behaviours that lead to work environment where employees feel safe, included and respected – where they are encouraged and supported to take responsibility, resolve their conflicts and take action when they witness disrespectful behaviour. This is a topic all of us need to know more about. Given Erica's consulting professionalism focused on respect in the workplace, her book should be a great source of information and inspiration."
