Culture Shift
Participation in the performance challenge process spurred a new focus on employee engagement and creating a more spirited team environment. Involving all staff in the challenge process prompted us to create additional employee engagement opportunities in an effort to improve communications, improve staff morale, and ultimately help to break down the silos that have arisen through a historical focus on program based service delivery.
