      Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Communication between departments and between corporate and the field is something we are working on to improve. The nationwide addition of weekly team meetings - which often include video messages from your local VP or senior leaders from Chicago - is one of the most significant ways we have sought to achieve this goal. The revamp of the company intranet has also provided an open forum for communication across the entire organization.
