The purpose of this study was to examine the degree to which work-related factors may account for the variance in employee substance abuse in a typical, Israeli manufacturing firm.

To whom it may concern,

Ze’ev Ronen and Itzik Lev mentored an improvement team at the Caesar Stone factory at the Bar-Lev industrial area.

First, they diagnosed the factory, held meetings with workers and managers, and checked all the relevant data. They produced a report summarizing their finding and recommendations.

Throughout the guidance program Ze’ev Ronen exhibited two qualities: professionalism, and concern above and beyond the expected. 

His professionalism was present in all areas of operation, when Ze’ev made sure we reached a full and extensive discussion of all subjects, together with the best professionals around. His concern was shown through his personal initiative, approaching all the people he felt might advance our project and improve even a minute detail. 

The guidance we received from Ze’ev was very meaningful for us, both professionally and personally. 

The process of dividing the workers into teams and leading weekly meetings contributed much and provided significant results. 

Ze’ev had the wonderful ability to diagnosed very accurately are problem areas, turn our attention to them and do the needed work to fix them.
