Making ANR a Great Place to Work - Staff Assembly - Grove

Join Staff Assembly for an interactive opportunity to discuss ideas on how to implement changes to help make ANR a great place to work. We will be focusing on the results identified in the 2017 CUCSA Staff Engagement survey as needing the most improvement, which include change manage, performance management and wellness. It will be an opportunity to provide your ideas, which will be used to help implement changes now. We'll also provide information about Staff Assembly and ways you can get involved.
