Our monthly Food for Thought Lunch & Learn series offers voluntary sessions focused on personal and professional development, with a variety of topics and engaging giveaways each month. This year, we expanded thought leadership to all employees through an initiative called Each One Teach One. It taps into the expertise and passions of team members across the company, empowering them to share knowledge that makes us all better. Our most recent session, “Composing Psychological Safety,” led by Senior Delivery Analyst Andrew McNair, explored why psychological safety is the foundation of high-performing teams and how it empowers people to speak up, ask questions, and learn from mistakes. We are committed to helping our employees reach their full potential by building teams where everyone feels safe to contribute. #WeAreSweetwater #FullTimeDream
