If you have any questions that this document does not answer, don’t hesitate to ask your immediate supervisor for further clarification. Our success as an agency and as individuals depends on our mutual respect and cooperation. (Sample statement from Lin Grensing-Pophal’s Developing a Personnel Manual, 1993.)
