We are constantly looking for ways to foster community, apprenticeship and collaboration in GIR. Whether it be our seasoned leaders sharing their experiences and working side by side with junior colleagues or our GIR Inclusion and Diversity Council sharing best practices on active allyship, we make it a priority to provide forums for our people - at all levels - to learn and grow.
