“The Twelve Core Action Values… has been one of the factors earning Griffin a place on Fortune magazine’s roster of America’s 100 best companies to work for each of the past five years.  But more important in my view has been the influence that our commitment to The Twelve Core Action Values has had on individual employees.  I’ve heard from many of our people who, as a result of this training, have made impressive personal changes.”
Patrick Charmel, President and CEO, Griffin Hospital and The Planetree Alliance

It was an outstanding presentation – the best in many years.’”
