Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and for the years of contribution in Dublin. We are pleased to hear that you experienced a strong employee focus, a positive community, and appreciated the flexibility and hybrid working model. Creating a supportive and inclusive environment is very important to us, so it is encouraging to know this resonated with you. We also acknowledge your concerns around organisational change and its impact on employees and decision-making speed. Transformation can be challenging, and we recognise that at times it may create uncertainty or slow processes down. We are actively working to improve how we plan and communicate change, and to ensure that impacts on our people are better anticipated and managed. Your perspective is valuable, and we will use feedback like yours to keep improving the way we support our employees during periods of change. We wish you all the best in your future career and thank you again for your time with us.
