As I've mentioned before, I'm a strong advocate for flexible work and the technologies that support it. In a hybrid work environment, I believe it's vital to equip people with the tools they need to excel individually while also nurturing a cohesive team culture. And that's what I love about our portfolio company, Kadence's new product feature. Kadence Events allows people to effectively plan team-building events through their workplace management platform.
