Introduction

Dear Team,


As we approach a new benefit plan year in the US and enter yet another open enrollment for our Avalanche Studios NY team, we are proud as a company to be able to continue to cover the full cost of your annual premium for your medical, dental and vision benefits. Initiating this coverage in 2011 was an important milestone in our journey towards where we want to be as an employer. We value not only a healthy work life balance for our team but also a healthy mind, body and soul; and to be able to continue to support your needs in this area is important to us as we move forward into 2023 together.
