I'm sharing some good practices in this article I wrote for the GBH blog, that contributed to us snagging that Great Place to Work® Caribbean and Central America EN recognition. I'd love to hear your feedback on my article, but more importantly, I'm curious about the good practices you all implement that really resonate with your employees and candidates.
