There is more work to be done, however, and we're actively listening to our employees to plan the way forward. Our ability to embrace our common humanity and celebrate our differences across geographies, ethnicities, generations, gender identities and sexual orientations and disabilities to name a few, helps us deliver more relevant innovation, makes us more responsive to our clients, and enables us to excel as a high performing team.
