“In a time where we are seeing widespread impacts from the ‘Great Resignation’, ‘Quiet Quitting’ and tech layoffs across the country, I’m inspired by our team members who choose to seek new skills, new opportunities and career expansion within our organization. With nearly 24% growth in new positions and almost 20% of the workforce growing through promotions and expanding scopes of responsibility, we are fulfilling our promise of providing challenging and meaningful work and greater income opportunity for our passionate team members,” added Guilbault.
