For off-site locations and 100% work-from-home teams, funds will be provided to coordinate a team lunch. Choose a date and time that works best from May 1 to June 2.
Leaders of off-site locations and work from home teams can view the instructions on how to receive and use the $20/per person inter-department transfer for their teams using the Inter Department Transfer of Funds (IDT) form.
No matter where you are in the system, we encourage you to take photos of you and your team enjoying time together in May and send them to us.
