Description
Good Shepherd Services’ Leadership Development (LD) aims to attract, retain and strengthen anti-racist talent committed to organizational learning, healing and growth. To actualize its vision, the LD subfunction brings an anti-racist lens to the design and delivery of Onboarding and Career Development solutions, Performance Management and Rewards, and Succession Planning.

The newly formed Mission & Culture Department, Anti-Racism & Equity Branch addresses that goal through the specific lens of creating equity and justice.
