Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We appreciate your feedback around benefits as we work diligently to provide competitive and tailored benefits and health programs to support our people in their personal choices at every stage of their lives. Additionally, while it is everyone's responsibility and individual outlooks can be different, your participation in our culture, within your office, in your work, and as part of your team is what makes our culture great every day. Thank you! We have six corporate titles to support our internal structure and our people's growth and career development through the years. Advancement is linked to contributions and participation, and taking on larger responsibilities within the teams and with the clients. At times, we may feel that we are not moving fast enough in the corporate ladder, so take time to discuss your track with our manager to understand what is required and map your path forward. To advance, the size of the team may need to grow or a vacancy created, our professional contributions may need to create greater impact or grow in scope, and our role may have to carry increased responsibility. This takes time and mutual investment. Understanding your career track is unique to you, so share your thoughts, ask questions, and partner with your manager to understand your professional roadmap within the firm.

From small to large scale projects in your community to across the world, the possibilities are vast. Our culture does not support egos or self-serving leadership; yet, from time to time, you may find someone who deviates from our cultural aspirations of inclusivity, engagement, and appreciation of our staff and the hard work they do every day. Thank you for your feedback in this area. Hopefully, you shared it while still with CRTKL so that together, we can change and impact the culture for the better.

Thank you for your comments and feedback. CRTKL has been through a great deal of change through the years. Yet, our company culture remains one that focuses on our people through comprehensive benefits package, professional career development, opportunities for exciting projects and participation in extracurricular activities. As you state, each team offers different experiences relative to growth, projects, challenges and opportunities. It seems that your experience at CRTKL was mixed and we appreciate your perspective. In the past three years, our investment has been on our people through 100% paid maternity leave, 100% parental leave, additional sick leave, floating holidays, expanded healthcare coverage, and the like. We are always interested in listening to our people's feedback to become better and partner more closely with our employees across all regions.
