“The Biggest progress was peer learning, which help me to move from traditional caregiver service to tech-based caregiver service. Also, I have learned many topics, tips, and tricks on how to grow my business. Working on gender equity was another biggest progress we made as an organization, made us realize where we are standing and what needs to be done as a gender equity company.”
