RI has partnered with the Committee on Workers Capital (CWC) to publish a series of CWC Trustee Profile interviews with union-nominated pension fund trustees that touch on the role of individual board members in driving innovation around responsible investment at their funds. This installment is with Sharon Hendricks, Vice-Chair of the CalSTRS Board of Trustees.
We believe sustainable actions should take place at every level of the organization to support the long-term nature of our mission. CalSTRS values our employees as active partners in our efforts.
CalSTRS employees also support our local communities through volunteering opportunities, local business exchanges, charitable organizations and other activities.
CalSTRS welcomes and embraces diversity of thinking, background and experience to enhance our culture and drive business success.
By working together to respect, value and include each individual’s perspectives, CalSTRS empowers staff to perform their best work toward the fulfillment of our mission.
To support the strength and increased engagement of our workforce, we developed programs such as employee onboarding, health and wellness, workforce development and succession planning, and our award winning Virtuosity recognition program.
These programs, along with our community and environmental commitment, lend to the engaging culture at CalSTRS.
Virtuosity nurtures an alignment of employee interests with the core values, mission and vision of CalSTRS. CalSTRS employee recognition program, Virtuosity, CalSTRS Powered by You, celebrates the exemplary performance of CalSTRS staff working together, exceeding expectations and recognizing their peers’ successes.
Virtuosity provides staff with seven distinct platforms within varying achievement levels to nominate deserving leaders and peers.
