Employees working together to advance diversity and inclusion

Children's Health℠ has fostered several collaborative workgroups, all committed to advancing diversity and creating an inclusive workplace. These groups include Children's Health employees who volunteer their time. Each employee workgroup is sponsored by an Executive or Senior Vice President on the Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Council (DIAC) and include committees or task forces focused on specific issue. 

Any Children’s Health team member can join one of our employee workgroups. These change-making teams were created to not only give employees a voice, but also the proper channels to go about advancing D&I and creating an inclusive workplace.
