7.1.1 Communication

Communication

In 2005, we continued to implement programs that enhance ongoing communication processes and ensure a working environment that’s open to discussion and feedback. The MOM (Managers of the Mission, our Senior Leadership Team) hosted monthly roundtable luncheon discussions, and employees gathered at “Town Meetings” for information sharing on business issues. Site meetings, scheduled quarterly, kept all employees in touch with the Company’s business results and current priorities.
