It all starts with our executive team focusing on transparency and engaging with the broader leadership group to provide all employees a greater understanding of the big picture. In fact, we have dedicated team members whose responsibility it is to bridge the gap between the executive level and the broader business. We also focus on cross-department collaboration. Our leaders are held accountable to create partnerships fostering trust where people are encouraged to speak up, ask questions, and provide solutions. All of these things combined have opened the lines of communication so everyone can move in the same direction.
