Additionally, employees who work outside the office are given the chance to participate remotely in lunch-and-learn workshops and other activities.
An active and engaged wellness committee suggests, plans, implements and promotes programs. Wellness information is shared through monthly staff meetings, emails and communications from Pandion's president and CEO.
