Many thanks for the feedback. We have put a lot of effort into trying to improve our culture. And by and large the feedback we are receiving back is positive. But we haven't finished yet. Over the next year we will be introducing some programmes that hopefully will improve the work environment furter. If you are interested in helping us with this please reach out to your Supervisor/Manager.
