We want to encourage you to travel to relevant meetings and conventions, pursue continuing education and professional development, and maintain a state-of-the-art information technology work space that will allow you to work from anywhere. For these reasons, we have allocated an annual budget for travel, training, and technology. This budget changes from year to year and we will announce the budget periodically. We will also periodically grant wishes and award bonuses in the form of travel, training, and technology.

'''Travel:''' We do not require travel or have many travel requirements. Occasionally, when we are onboarding a new client or perhaps a new employee, we may choose to travel to a location to get to know everybody and develop an initial bond that is important for a long-term working relationship. Opportunities to connect in person are highly encouraged. We try to get together as a company or team from time to time to get to know everybody, unplug, focus on strategy, or solve challenges. Our diverse team is spread out across the US and South America, so many meet ups happen at events like Drupalcon.

'''Training:''' We have listed the types of [[Certifications and qualifications]] that we seek. We encourage our team to set goals for their professional development. Our company supports you in creating a desired career path and provides necessary training and certifications. We cover the cost of certifications and give you time off when needed.

'''Technology:''' We expect you to maintain a work station that will allow you to work effectively. This includes comfortable desk, ergonomic chair and keyboard, mouse and/or track pad, video conference system (camera, speaker, microphone), light to brighten up your face and smile when you hop on calls, sound proofing, and mobile devices (smart phone, tablet). We expect all information technology professionals to have and maintain this setup to work effectively.
