Comment from the judges

Congrats on your really inspiring work to create a great culture. Your turnover numbers seem to say it all. When you take care of people, they stay with you and they take care of business. In particular, the ways in which you are investing in DEIB is really impressive. Your benchmarking work and the associated programs are great role models for others to learn from.
