Especially helpful are the extremely detailed “Action Steps”. Some are brainstorming thought exercises, others are concrete steps such as forms that need to be filled out and calls to action that need to be made, and even in some places actual wording to use in communicating your hiring decisions to clients and employees. Kristin Morrison has thought through many different hiring scenarios and has advice for each of them.”
