In our recent articles, we shared more about why we are spending the last few weeks of 2023 helping leaders and organizations 'Make it Count'. In these pieces, we outline how making it count is about the importance of human connection, well-being, the power of community, and the collective impact we can create by giving back. We shared the causes important to our team members, highlighting ways to contribute to each, including a special feature on ways to support Gaza.
