"On behalf of Malin, I wish to thank you for including us in the training grant which you provided. I believe our employees have benefited from the training. They are responding differently to their coworkers when conflicts arise. The training has also helped those who deal with our customers in a more positive manner. Malin has probably been the only job for most of our employees. Many are long term and started when they were young. I believe these employees have benefited the most. They have never attended training sessions before. As a growing company we perceive our employees to achieve great success in their future endeavors with customers and other employees."
Trudy Metoyer, Human Resources Administrator
