How Dr. Tana M. Session provided her expertise in organizational strategy and development through the lens of Organizational Strategy:

​​

• Refinement Of Organizational Strategy. Based on year-over-year assessment results, Dr. Session worked with the Employee-Led Committee to identify gaps to address and provided guidance on implementation, stakeholder management, and allocation of resources.

​

• Committee Governance. Implementation of an Employee-Led Taskforce took Berkshire's Organizational Strategy to the next level and ensured continuous allocation of resources and executive sponsorship.

​

• Career Pathways. By partnering, the Employee-Led Taskforce developed a documented path for relevant job groups and established an Emerging Leaders Program and Internship Program focused on attracting and retaining top talent.
   

• Workforce Upskilling. By working directly with managers and senior leaders, Dr. Session implemented high-impact trainings across all levels through a range of modalities, ensuring ongoing learning for current and future staff.

​

The Employee-Led Taskforce, BerkshireUNITES, consistently delivers on annual goals and OKRs, ultimately demonstrating the capacity and success of the company's efforts and intentionality to embed performance and growth-oriented mindsets across the organization. In total, BerkshireUNITES consists of 55 members with 10 people per subcommittee -- a substantial growth from the first year of partnering. Berkshire continues committing to providing growth opportunities to their employees, and continuing to strive towards a team that is representative of the client communities they served.

 

Dr. Tana M. Session notes that Berkshire's organizational maturity is now at the stage where it can begin to actualize long-term KPIs, such as representation across leadership levels — a metric that companies historically overpromise and underdeliver.
