What is Bollo?
The name Bollo comes from the Wolof tribe of Senegal, Africa meaning “to be together." At Littler, Bollo members work together to create strategies for succeeding at the firm, including skill enhancement, business development, and mentoring opportunities. Their initiatives include supporting associate talent development, increasing diversity recruiting efforts and developing career advancement strategies.
One of Bollo’s greatest strengths is its members’ involvement in local and national professional organizations. The experiences garnered are both beneficial to the individual and firm, as members build new relationships and further develop their skill sets.
