Collective Impact worked closely with Berkeley County Council staff to design and deliver a series of nine (9) County-wide training workshops on Strengthening Workplace Sensitivity and Building Social Capital for two (2) audiences: Berkeley County Sheriff’s Department uniformed officers and other personnel and other full & part-time employees serving the public in the County. The focus of the training workshop was to raise awareness among participants of the importance of professionalism and respect within the workplace, as well as to the residents that are served. The interactive training pushed participants to face biases, prejudices, and bullying in a proactive, positive, and fun manner. It encompassed definitions and examples of harassment and discrimination and clarification of laws addressing these areas. It also provided interactive activities focusing on addressing inappropriate behavior, valuing differences, heightening cultural awareness, building cultural competence, racial profiling, and creating a culture of diversity, equality, respect, and inclusion in the workplace.
Mountwest Community & Technical College (MCTC) contracted with Collective Impact to provide professional assessment services to support its Attendance Pays Project. MCTC is a public institution of the West Virginia Community and Technical College System. MCTC wanted to understand how better to improve and streamline its attendance tracking and reporting process for faculty, students, financial aid, counselors, and other stakeholders. The Attendance Pays Assessment Project was carried out over a 5 month period and involved a review of internal attendance policy documents, data systems currently used for attendance reporting and tracking, stakeholder interviews for information collection, and a review of “best practices” used at colleges and universities across the country.
