We recently hosted the third year of our Digital & Technology (D&T) Team Up Days! Over 500 associates from across the U.S. and our EMEA Home Office joined us at the Global Home Office (GHO) in Ohio for two days of teaming up. There were workshops in our new state of the art collaboration center, campus scavenger hunts, the Q1 associate awards, SteerCo guest speakers, fundraising for The Challenge and more. Many of our D&T associates work remotely, so we love an opportunity for them to come together in person. Thank you for visiting GHO, everyone! #LifeatANF
