As always, if you don't get a chance to dive into this read, you're more than welcome to join in.
After our chat, we'll shift gears and reconvene outside the office (location TBD). It's a great opportunity to unwind, mingle, and perhaps delve into some topics beyond the book.
Have you heard of "Kaleida Perks"? It's the program that offers employees a wide variety of money-saving offers, including discount tickets, cars, rentals, hotels, and even gift cards.
GLIN IPA staffers have access to this online service via the KaleidaScope page. Look under "General Resources", on the right column, and click on the piggy bank to load the Kaleida Perks offers!
