But it’s due to our strong culture, inclusion and belongingness that, despite being so diverse, our people come to work each day excited to deliver a sustainable, consistent, and successful customer experience. I always believe that ’Dreams Work, When Teams Work’s. Our employees are our most valuable asset, and we owe our success and this recognition to our dedicated teams.”
