Thank you for your review. We are please to learn that you believe you are compensated well for the work you undertake and have experience of working with skilled colleagues. We always strive for clear an open communication from the Senior Leadership Team and encourage all colleagues to review the intranet home page; keep up to date with the messages sent frequently by the Executive Leadership Team and when possible attend Townhall meetings. Recordings are always made available on demand for those unable to attend live. If you have any further concerns, I welcome you to reach out to me at Tom.Mcgoldrick@Parexel.com.
