DISCUSSION:
In January 2020, department heads from across the county organized to coordinate the advancement of an initiative to create an even more effective, high-performance organization (HPO) in which everyone is dedicated to serving internal and external customers. This effort was known as the Great Workplace Culture Change Initiative (GWCC) and was initially overseen by a steering committee comprised of seven elected officials and appointed department heads.
In January 2023, the GWCC transitioned to Workplace 2030!, a comprehensive organization development and culture change initiative. Over the past year, Workplace 2030! committees have been diligently working on initiatives designed to address needs and facilitate culture change. With pleasure, the committee chairs for the 2023-2024 program year would like to update the Board on their efforts and the experience.
