🖤 This is one of a few examples we have of companies who talk a lot about how to run effective meetings, and we love how deep Wonder go with theirs re: guidance on meetings. You dont need to go this detailed of course, but it does show that a company cares deeply about peoples times, about inclusion, psychological safety and other aspects of culture.
