Helping People Succeed
Human Resources at Douglas: Helping People Succeed
The Human Resources team at Douglas is evolving. To help foster a climate of employee engagement, we are
going through a service redesign around a central mission of helping people succeed in their work.
We are organizing HR into a network with five areas of focus. Each area has a designated lead to guide activities and provide subject matter expertise to the HR team and to the Douglas community. Other HR team members will work with the leads on specific initiatives, complex issues and service enhancement, as opportunities arise.
