Book Description

October 4, 2001
The Day & Zimmermann Group, Inc., a Philadelphia-based company that provides a range of services including staffing, facilities management and operations, security, defense services, engineering, construction, and maintenance to clients around the world, has witnessed - and often influenced - all of these changes. Founded in 1901, Day & Zimmermann embraced efficiency studies, a relatively new approach that relied on automation and time studies to improve manufacturing operations. It was cutting edge thinking, and Charles Day became a renowned expert.

The Legend of Day & Zimmermann recounts the story of a company who's motto, "We Do What We Say" continues through the 100 years of service Day & Zimmermann has provided to many organizations around the world.

2.0 out of 5 stars Why?, November 12, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Legend of Day & Zimmermann (Hardcover)
After reviewing one of the many free copies available to company employees, I found the book to be self-indulgent. There is some nice history in the book and some interesting photos, particularly of the early years, but generally the catch phrase "We Do What We say" seems to have been forgotten when it comes to treating their staff. The money used to cover the cost of publishing this book could have been used more in providing nominal pay increases for their own "valued" staff.
