HR Approved Ways™
For managers and supervisors

One for you. One for each of them.

Two books, the same three-level format. HR Approved Ways To Tell Employees Anything is written for the person giving the feedback. HR Approved Ways To Say (Almost) Anything To Coworkers is the one you hand to the team. Most managers buy both.

HR Approved Ways To Say (Almost) Anything To Coworkers

500+ ready-to-use phrases, nearly 100 named coworker types and 12 chapter quizzes. The one you hand out, one per desk.

Why both

Same language on both sides of the desk.

01

Feedback that lands

When you and the team work from the same three-level format, a hard message reads as a choice of words, not an escalation. Fewer meetings about the meeting.

02

Your conversations are different

Reviews, warnings, raises and the talk after the complaint need scripts, not one-liners. That is what the managers edition carries, 570+ of them.

03

Buy once, hand out the rest

Keep the managers edition on your desk and put the coworkers book on everyone else's. Sets of 10 or more ship together from Amazon; 25 or more, ask for a quote.

Ready

Both books, one order.

Amazon ships both titles with Prime. For a whole team, set the quantity on the coworkers book, or send us the headcount and we reply with options.

Do I need to read the coworkers book first?

No. They are companions, not a series you read in order. The managers edition is the one for you; the coworkers book is the one for the team.

Can I order both for the whole team?

Yes. Many managers give every team lead the managers edition and every team member the coworkers book. Tick both titles on the team quote form and say how many of each.

Is there a workbook?

A 2-in-1 book and workbook combo for the coworkers book is coming soon. The free monthly phrases list hears first.
