Employees say:

- “All levels of the organization have been very flexible with work-life balance, especially given the current circumstances. I have young children at home and my managers have gone out of their way to proactively address concerns I might have.”
- “Even in a pandemic, I still feel connected to and cared for by my co-workers while working from home. IR&M has done a great job of keeping communication elevated during this time and visibility from management continues to be strong.”
