  • Purpose is what draws us to an organization, it is not just about what it does operationally. People embody that Purpose, and create our Culture.
  • A culture of trust is necessary to ensure that every employee feels comfortable to bring their views forward. Such an environment fosters inclusion and diversity of thought, which are necessary ingredients to drive innovation, especially for an organization that is 45 years old.
