Organizational Design & Effectiveness
Toolkits
Strategic workforce decisions require coordination across leadership, HR, finance, and other collaborative partners. These toolkits are designed to support collaborative partnership by providing shared frameworks, guidance, and resources that help units make informed and consistent decisions aligned with strategic goals.
Our toolkits reflect our belief that good design is a shared responsibility, requiring the right tools, the right partners, and the right conversations. HR partners play a key role in guiding units through the appropriate process and connecting them with the right stakeholders.
