Benefit from Experience

The Complete HR Manual was written by author and successful business owner Catherine A Wilcox.  After forty-seven years of perfecting her own business practices, she has decided to share her most effective methods and exercises to not only create a successful company but also how to recruit, maintain and empower employees into becoming their best selves. Our only goal is to help you, the entrepreneur, optimize your current business performance. 

Over 27 years ago, after reading the E-Myth by Michael E. Gerber, Wilcox and a fellow business owner sequestered for six days to write a policy manual.  In the E-Myth, Gerber drives home the importance of having a policy manual for even a “mom and pop” business.  The E-Myth is still number ten on the New York Times Best Seller list.

 “After the Policy Manual summit, I came to understand that whatever I am manufacturing, selling, or servicing, without a “team” to support me, I am nothing”, Wilcox states.  “I began to see that as an entrepreneur, my only customers are my employees.  Everyone wants to be part of something bigger than themselves for many different reasons.  It is how the human psyche is developed”, Wilcox explained. 

In the E-Myth, Gerber states that forty percent of small businesses will close within a year, and eighty percent within five years.  Only four percent of small businesses make it past ten years.  Wilcox’s businesses are all part of that four percent!  

Now she has decided to share these benefits of experience in The Complete HR Manuals, which are designed for specific business categories, and include the customizable Employee Policy Handbook and Team Building Manual.
