We need to have our people ops part. We need to have our learning and development, because we're developing people who don't have to give us the best that they have to offer. They don't have to, they can just show up to work and go home.”

You don't have all these ridiculous inefficiencies. You find more opportunities to collaborate. Innovation becomes possible. All these things, if you get the people part.”

We want you to understand what we do here and how we do it, and, like you said, does this make you say, ‘I'm gonna self-select out?’ Or does this ignite your, your sort of excitement and your feelings here?”

But we care about that because we know that our employees care about that. They, they, everyone wants to believe that when they get off the, you know, on their career trajectory with, they want every role that they have to be advancing themselves professionally. They don't want to feel as if they've gone backwards or stagnant.”

They meet with them twice a month to work on things that are based on 360 feedback survey that's part of that work, where every employee has an opportunity to provide feedback anonymously, and all the stuff that happens in those coaching sessions with our people managers are the things that get worked on.”
