Thank you for your work with WestEd – we value former employees who take the time to provide their views and opinions on WestEd’s policies. I’m glad you remember your colleagues and work experiences fondly – we try hard to maintain a professional, supportive, and well-rewarded environment. The nature of grant- and contract-funded work does mean there are shifts in work volume; at times this results in a program's inability to maintain 100% work hours for all staff. WestEd is proud to continue our high level of professionalism, contributions towards retirement, and generous time off as part of our normal course of business.
