Thanks for your review and I hope you'll let me know what office you're in, so I can make sure to join the upcoming holiday party! All jokes aside, I appreciate your candid feedback. While we do provide a number of different opportunities to hear from staff both anonymously and not, we will make sure to prioritize getting employees and leaders talking on a more regular basis, so the full employee experience can be considered at all levels. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR
