Thank you for sharing your feedback. First, we’re proud to have a low attrition rate and a strong focus on internal mobility. Many employees advance within the company, which may sometimes be mistaken for external turnover. This movement reflects our belief in nurturing talent and creating growth opportunities. Second, we want you to feel empowered to have open and honest conversations with your manager about your workload or any challenges you face. Your well-being and work-life balance are priorities for us, and we encourage a dialogue that ensures your voice is heard.
