Exciting news, everyone! Our department is taking huge strides toward improving our workplace culture. Recently, we launched two amazing initiatives that aim to enhance our onboarding process and support our employees’ growth and development. And guess what, our Senior Director of Organizational Development, Sheridan Richards, MPPA, SHRM-CP, has just received a whopping $75,000 grant to fund these programs. How awesome is that?

With these new initiatives in place, we’re confident that our onboarding process will be even more effective in helping new hires feel welcomed, included, and ready to contribute. We’re also scaling up our coaching program, making it more accessible and widely available to employees who are looking to develop their skills, reach their goals, and succeed in their roles.

As for Sheridan and the Organizational Development team, we’re beyond thrilled and proud of their hard work and dedication to making our workplace a better and more fulfilling place for everyone. With this grant, we’ll be able to expand the coaching program and provide our employees with even more valuable resources and support.

These initiatives and the grant is not only a testament to UAMS’ commitment to building a strong, positive, and inclusive workplace culture but also a reflection of our belief that investing in our employees’ growth and development is key to our success as a company. We’re excited to see the positive impact these initiatives will have on our employees and our overall company culture.

So let’s all give a big round of applause to Sheridan and the Organizational Development team for this amazing accomplishment. We can’t wait to see what’s next!
