2yThanks for sharing your perspective. Our decision to implement a hybrid work model was driven by several considerations including enhanced collaboration and communication and to provide more networking and development opportunities for employees. It was important to us that our employees felt supported and informed during the transition, which is why we provided several months' notice to make any arrangements needed in order to meet the requirement of two days in office.
Throughout the pandemic, we consistently reinforced the role that our offices play in maintaining and evolving our culture. And we consistently hired individuals within commutable distance from our offices with the expectation that employees would return to the office once it was safe to do so. We did make exceptions in rare cases for hard to find talent segments. We recognize the space challenges in some of our offices, especially where we share space with our sister brands, and are actively looking for additional space in New York City for example.
We appreciate your feedback on promotions and career growth opportunities. At Priceline, we are committed to recognizing and rewarding deserving employees and providing avenues for career advancement. Earlier this year, over 160 Priceliners were promoted, of whom we are very proud!
