There is no indication that ɬ�﷬ employees’ personal information and HR related information stored in ɬ�﷬'s Workday system were accessed during this incident.

Nevertheless, we are doing our due diligence to investigate, and we are taking all necessary precautions to safeguard our systems and information.
