4yWe appreciate you sharing your comments and feedback. We believe maintaining a work/life balance plays an important role in the employee experience. If an employee is feeling overwhelmed, we encourage them to speak up and be honest with their managers. We’ve seen examples of teams reallocating work or working together to find more efficient paths forward. We’ve had many employees grow their careers at the Bank, whether it’s through promotions they have earned or taking a new career path while staying at the Bank. There are ways employees can provide feedback about any issues they are seeing and are encouraged to do so to help us continue to grow. HR Business Partners are always available to have open discussions and provide support wherever it is needed. We also have several working groups dedicated to identifying areas of opportunity based on employee feedback and their own experiences. These groups create solutions that continuously improve our culture and the way we work together. We are proud of our recently renovated workspace that allows us to collaborate for critical in-person interactions in supporting our members while allowing for flexibility throughout the week with remote work. We have adapted the way we work with each other and are excited for the journey ahead.
