What is your message for the PEOple?
It is an understatement to say that 2020 is a very challenging year. However, although challenging - happy to witness how the obstacles shaped us to be better, more flexible, more cooperative, more resourceful and more conscious of each other’s presence. It has been a tiring yet very fulfilling year. As a group, PEO had a lot of small and big wins this year. Yes, despite the set-up and all of those were because of you, PEOple! Your dedication, commitment and professionalism are remarkable. A big thank you for everything you all exerted this year to make sure we continue to make it work from home! We don’t know what 2021 will bring but let us just be hopeful that it’s going to be a better one! Wishing you and your family good health and a wonderful holiday celebration! :)

My love ones are safe and that I was still able to work and provide for them.
What is the best thing that happened to you this year?
Slow living. At a time when there was always something to be worried about, working from home has allowed me to take a pause and break from a busy and cluttered world. For once, I was able to focus on the people and things that matter. A commitment to find good with less and a commitment to find the gentle in a time wrought with fear and uncertainty.
