Engaging and Valuing Everybody
David Nickerson, Onward Project Specialist – Strategic Initiatives
The Strategic Initiatives team hosted 26 Engaging Everybody Sessions from late January to early April. These were opportunities to listen and to learn from various employee groups as well as Our Voices Matter Council self-advocates, and Community Advisory Networks. We shared a brief presentation, but spent most of the time listening to people share their unique perspectives on what we should prioritize in our next 3-year strategic plan.
We believe in valuing every person across our organization. That means engaging with the people who use our services, as well as hearing from families and employees. We benefit from taking the time to hear from and valuing everybody – striving to get better at as we invest in co-design.
