Thank you for your feedback on your experience working at Wave. We are pleased to hear that you value our benefits strategy. As you know, we recently rolled out a number of trainings and one of the areas we focused on (in addition to individual development) is development for leaders and managers. While many managers are already well-versed in areas such as communication, collaboration and employee development, we recognize there may be room for improvement and/or reinforcement. We also welcome a conversation on this topic and encourage you to reach out to your HR Business Partner or leadership team to discuss in more detail so that we may address any individual concerns. Thanks again for your feedback!
