Incorporating Belonging into our Everyday Conversation
Cultivating a sense of belonging for every individual at the firm is important to us at BoMc. It is discussed on a regular basis amongst our partners, our managers, and our various committees. Our leaders set the example by practicing it everyday. The result is a wonderfully caring and empathetic team.
