It has been a very challenging time for all of us as we've moved through the pandemic. It certainly has, as you said, disproportionately affected women in the workplace. A significant portion of the people who work at 3M Canada are women. I'm really proud of the proportions we have.
I have a couple of comments. We have been working very hard on ensuring what we are calling “flexibility”. For our employees who work from home, it's making sure that we are helping them plan their days; making sure they have the time to support their children, to support elder care, and to support the kind of family care they provide; and making sure their workload is balanced and they still have time for themselves and for their family. We've been working very hard on that. We're providing other additional supports around mental health as well as work-life balance in order to provide as much support as we can to people in the workforce. I've attended more than my fair share of meetings where there have been additional co-workers who are younger, who have louder opinions than their parents potentially do, during our meetings as well. I think that is just a part of all of us participating in a pandemic economy.
For our individuals who were not able to work from home, because we have manufacturing across the country, again, we have promoted flexibility in making sure we are helping people with support when they need to stay at home with children and when they can come into the office, making sure we have shift flexibility in order to provide that for people as well. I think flexibility has been the key to what we have provided.
Thank you.
