“In 2017, we are focusing on ensuring our employees have
a stronger work/life balance. We are reviewing our
policies and modifying them as relevant where the scales
are more equally weighted between work life and home
life. We are a business that never sleeps, so fostering a
culture that allows our employees to disconnect and focus
