The Culture Transformation & Development (CTD) Department consists of three interrelated teams: Restorative Belonging, Inclusive Learning, and Equity Strategy. Collectively, these teams are charged with providing proactive, strategic, and preventive engagement that helps to foster a culture of inclusion and belonging. The functions within the CTD team provide planning and implementation for belonging, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (B-JEDI) strategies, including setting and leading restorative practices, assessing and reporting on outcomes, and addressing policy and procedure gaps.

The CTD team also leads organizational learning and development opportunities, including leading B-JEDI training, managing organizational learning systems, creating and coordinating professional development activities, facilitating required training, and managing organizational orientations and onboarding.

Employee Inclusion and Belonging

Employee belonging is a journey that begins as soon as a new employee is hired. Achieving a sense of belonging among employees is critical to employee success, satisfaction and retention.
