Thank you for taking time to share your thoughts and concerns. Akron Children’s truly values our employees’ input. As a key step in this process, we hope you will participate an active listening session with your manager. These sessions, which we began earlier this year, provide an important forum for our employees to share their feedback and provide their thoughts on how we can improve. Our leaders and managers will continue to conduct these sessions throughout the year. Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion is also an organizational priority, and we continue to expand our staff, efforts and resources in this area. Please visit the Diversity page on myKidsnet, our staff intranet, for additional information and opportunities for involvement in this key initiative. As always, don’t hesitate to contact your HR partner for any HR-related concerns.
