Additional Culture Details
President and CEO Peggy Troy has often said that the child and family experience cannot outweigh the employee experience, thus Children's has invested significantly in creating a work environment that reflects our values and guiding behaviors. Employee performance is not based simply on what you do in your job, but also how you are demonstrating Children's values in your work.
Since 2012, Children's has worked with the national firm Heidrick and Struggles to create an organizational culture named "At Our Best." Over the past nine years, over 8,000 employees and providers have attended At Our Best, day long workshop focused on Children's culture concepts.
Children’s culture goes way beyond posters on the wall. Our values and guiding behaviors are integrated into our strategic imperatives such as creating an inclusive workplace, where all employees can bring their best selves to work, and fostering the best employee experience that includes a comprehensive onboarding process, recognition mechanisms and growth opportunities for our employees.
As an organization, we provide the best care and services when we are at our best.
