Thank you for sharing your views and disappointed to read your thoughts on team meals and colleague entertainment. We have extensive resources helping colleagues to keep on top of the latest thinking and have a career hub which shares tips and ideas for colleagues to learn and take ownership of their career. We look to travel a little less to reduce our environmental footprint and take responsibility for sustainability.
