LEARN from and with peers

We want each employee to build and maintain collaborative relationships to work effectively toward common goals, while strengthening the skills required to appreciate diverse viewpoints and shared responsibilities. Skills include Teamwork, Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity.

GROW personally and professionally

We want each employee to develop themselves and their career through continual personal and professional learning, awareness of one’s strengths and weaknesses, navigating career opportunities and networking to build relationships.
