Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. It is great to hear that our culture is reflecting our Guiding Principles, which include commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. A healthy work-life balance has been prioritized by our CEO, so it is good to know improvements have been made in this area. We agree, MKS is supported by a strong, experienced leadership team, but we also are aware that our employees’ daily contributions are what make us a success. Since there is always room to improve meeting efficiency, we will continue to share ideas on how to better communicate or plan for actionable meetings. We would love your ideas too! The global employee survey has been a great strategic tool in order to gauge next steps and we plan to keep these lines of communication open moving forward. If you would like to share any additional feedback, please reach out directly to MKS.Feedback@mksinst.com.
