“The Covid pandemic of 2020 changed the way employees viewed the workplace. As the leader of Brin Glass, I looked to find a strategic partner to help us navigate the those challenging times and develop a sustainable culture that would fuel our growth. When selecting to work with Keystone Group International four years ago our leadership team made a conscious decision to find a partner that would challenge us to be our best. We couldn’t be happier with our decision!”
