We have had the pleasure of using the expertise of Bendel Services on an advisory basis for almost three years. As a small company with fifty employees and virtually no system in place for managing our personnel, we have relied almost totally on Bendel Services to set up a human resources management system that suits our own needs. This has included the development of job descriptions, hiring procedures, techniques for performance management and staff evaluation and records management. What is unique in our estimation is the care taken to align job descriptions to hiring, evaluation and training practices, a feature that is not always present in this field. In addition, Bendel has helped us develop a procedures manual, an impressive employee handbook and a human resources handbook that will enable us to function efficiently in the future on our own. Bendel was a perfect partner to help start our company in the crucial area of management. If you’re in the position of starting up or needing an evaluation of current practices in human resources at your company or organization, Bendel may be the best place to start.

I have worked with and admired Dan Mason of Bendel Services for over 13 years in my capacity as a senior manager in the Ontario College of Teachers, the Association of Early Childhood Educators of Ontario and most recently as the Deputy Registrar at the Ontario College of Early Childhood Educators. As an exemplary senior leader Dan has served as both a coach and a mentor to myself and my staff. Dan uses his strength-based positive leadership to bring out the best in individuals. Among the work that he has done for these organizations includes a province-wide review of the Ontario Supervisory Officer’s Qualifications Program for the College of Teachers, an assessment of the Ontario government’s bridging program for foreign-trained ECE workers and a review of language standards of several of the province’s regulatory colleges for the College of ECE. Our last project involved assisting the College of ECE in designing an accreditation process for the ECE programs at the province’s colleges of applied arts and technology. In addition he has provided regular training for my staff at the AECEO and the College of ECE on writing executive summaries, briefing notes and managing wide-ranging information gathering techniques for research purposes. Dan’s commitment to giving meaning to an organization’s mission, vision, values and planning is unparalleled. Thank you, Dan, for all the work you have done for the regulatory colleges and for your work as a leader, teacher and coach.

Over the past 15 years I have the great pleasure of being directly associated with Dan Mason. He is, without question, a consummate professional with extensive leadership and invaluable consulting experience in both the public and private sectors. His ground breaking work in the development of a highly refined instrument to assist in the selection and development of senior leaders for organizations of all sizes is exemplary and highly predictive.
I know Dan as a man of high integrity, reliable follow-through who produces scholarly and extremely high quality work that is well referenced and clearly written. Without reservation I recommend that you positively consider Dan for your strategic project that needs to be thoroughly researched, creative in its treatment of your desired outcomes as well as clearly presented and delivered on time.

The eBook describes each step. I didn’t know that like in any other job application a candidate needs to gather information about the company. I believe the eBook as well the webinar will help me to prepare for my next interview and secure a position in my profession.

Very informative! The eBook is great because it refreshes my memory on everything we discussed during the seminar, and I will definitely use it as a review resource before my next interview.
