Learn how we helped employees share their company pride in just six special words.
Summary
01In 2018, Alliance Data was named to Fortune magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For.” Alliance Data hired PartnerComm to use this announcement as an opportunity to engage with associates in an exciting, meaningful way to instill feelings of company pride and further cultivate the company’s unique culture.
