Thanks for your review and your nod to being a good employer for Co-ops. We are proud to have been recognized many times as one of Canada’s Best Employer for Young People and Best Employers for Today’s Youth. I appreciate that you value the training that we offer at AIR MILES. We place a strong focus on Associate development and provide them with the training they need not only for their current role, but also to help them achieve the next step in their career. In fact, in 2020, 41% of our vacancies were filled by internal transfers and promotions. That’s something we’re really proud of. Internal mobility is very important to us but I acknowledge we still have work to do. We are taking steps to actively drive change, including creating a new career-levelling framework so that we can provide more movement and progression opportunities to our Associates. In regards to your comment on pay, market data helps us ensure that our salary ranges remain competitive and our Total Rewards team reviews market changes regularly, making changes as required to keep us competitive. We also conduct a market review of our roles on an annual basis to ensure we remain competitive. Thanks for taking the time to share your perspective. I wish you all the best. Dimitri Benak VP, People and Culture

Thank you for the positive feedback. Our Associates are at the heart of our strong company culture and are truly what makes AIR MILES such a great place to work! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the benefits and events offered to our Associates, as well as our remote-first working model. We appreciate your perspective on feeling as though your work makes a difference. We strongly believe that our people are our greatest asset and that the work done at all levels of the organization contributes to our success as a business. During our January Business Update, our Executive team shared our Strategic Imperatives for 2023 and the ways we will continue to scale as an organization to help Associates under the "big picture" and where their role fits in. We also recently introduced a new Goal Setting process to better align with our quarterly planning process, and to encourage more regular conversations about goals between Leaders and Associates. For Associates with questions regarding the impact of their role, we encourage you to speak to your leader or Manager Once Removed for guidance. Thanks again for your feedback, and all the best.
