Thanks man. I feel so privileged to be in a safe country. How many of your 168 team-mates were in Ukraine?

That a pretty big size .... Any specific experiences you/they can share on how they coped with the struggles and things that worked for them? (maybe topics for a series on survival and growth when things perhaps changed overnight)

Around ~100 right now.

Yes! We are planning to cover another article just on this topic.

Main things which we used:

1) Free 1to1 with therapists

2) Group sessions with therapists

3) Unlimited PTO

4) Financial support

5) In case a teammate is in the danger area, proactive support for evacuation

6) Real-time monitoring of the situation + updates to the team

7) "Believe in better times, and what we'll do there"

Great! These are wonderful initiatives on behalf of the company.

Also, would be great to hear of the coping mechanisms the individuals and families involved ... that were beneficial for them in their own personal capacity and situation.
