The InVisionary

Established in the first quarter of 2024, InVision’s Employee Engagement Committee’s purpose is to enhance company culture through increased engagement by directly involving team members in the evaluation, planning, and execution of efforts within the organization through the lens of our guiding principles.

Their goals are to create a sense of community within the organization, celebrate differences, embrace change, and engage our workforce in new and innovative ways. The committee is dedicated to developing and supporting an environment where team members feel engaged, empowered, and committed to their work by representing the voices and interests of InVision employees when developing activities and initiatives surrounding engagement.

The committee has already made a positive impact with several initiatives, and they are ready to continue to influence meaningful engagement with InVision’s team members. When the committee makes decisions, they do so with our guiding principles in mind to ensure that they are a direct reflection of the behaviors and actions InVision wants to foster throughout our company culture.

The committee members, who refer to themselves as Agents of Influence with Meaningful Engagement, is comprised of 15 members, representing all facets of the organization. This diversity allows for insights into the varying roles and the unique and collective challenges each one faces. The committee includes:
 

• Melissa Michaels-Steele, Rep Payee Coordinator
• Erin Babilon, Community Supports Staff
• DLJ Cromartie, Residential Counselor
• Rebecca Hoskinson, Care Manager
• Renee Immekus, Quality Management Specialist
• Tangi Readinger, Residential Operations Specialist
• Chris Tidball, Infrastructure Manager
• Deborah Wyse, Team Leader
• Sarah W. Kahando, Comprehensive Residential Operations Manager
• Amanda Lewis, Team Leader
• Craig Tranovich, Facilities Supervisor
• Cathleen Deehan-Fuller, Administrative Assistant
• Berline Exume, Program Supervisor
• Erin Osborne, Director, Learning and Development, Committee Chair
• Holly Wolk, Chief Human Resources Officer

If anyone has any ideas for initiatives upon which the engagement committee can provide perspective, or how we can enhance the experience of team members, please contact Erin Osborne, committee chair, at eosborne@invisionhs.org or talk to your department’s representative on the committee.

When asked why they decided to be a part of the engagement committee, members offered a variety of answers, all with a focus on improving the organization and the experience of its team members.

“The engagement committee is our opportunity to truly collaborate and bring our mission to light in a way we haven’t seen before. I believe together we can make a difference, and we can do it together for everyone.”
 
“I am excited to take all that I have learned and help in any way I can here. I am excited to help with creating moments and experiences that the people we support, staff, and their families will remember.” 

 “I’m interested in cultivating and contributing to a positive environment where my colleagues at InVision are engaged and supported, have a voice, and achieve satisfaction in the work they do each day.”
