Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that you have enjoyed Mud Bay and your coworkers. This year, one way we focused on involvement with stores was to create our first HR Business Partner position. This team member’s focus is to connect with store Muddies in in-person, gauge how the overall store and individual team members are doing, help identify pinch points and opportunities for improvement, answer questions, and overall make sure Muddies are feeling heard and supported. If you have specific feedback on the type of involvement you are looking for, please reach out to HR@mudbay.com to share your thoughts.
