At Pulse, we strongly encourage our employees to travel. When you travel, you experience people and cultures in a way that you never could in a book. You come back to work with new perspectives, creative ideas, and a refreshed state-of-mind. You also bring back stories that inspire and energize your coworkers. It’s definitely my favorite way to stay inspired.
