Sometimes hard to connect with co-workers

Project Management Institute Response

Thanks for your review! We agree that our benefits are great, and that our virtual-first organization makes PMI a great place to work. We also recognize that being virtual makes it a bit harder to connect with people – that’s why we’ve been hard at work to introduce even more ways for our teams to connect online and in-person, including meetups, events, digital platforms like Viva Engage, and encouraging teams to connect outside of “the office.”
