Organizational Development (OD) is the ongoing, systematic process of improving organizational effectiveness through a focus on culture, change management, innovation, human processes, management processes, and organizational design (source: Association for Talent Development).  At VCCCD, we are continually working to connect people, strategies, processes, and systems to cultivate an organizational culture that attracts, develops, and supports individual employees and teams, helping to promote excellence in the delivery of VCCCD's mission, values, and strategic goals. 

Several workshops, including CliftonStrengths and Real Colors, are available through the District OD division to help strengthen collaboration, deepen mutual understanding, and improve relationships within entire teams. Departments purchase assessments, and the process begins with a goal-setting consultation.

To explore how to arrange a workshop specifically for your team, please contact HRtraining@vcccd.edu.
