| The School Employment
Retirement System of Ohio (SERS), www.ohsers.org,
manages retirement contributions, pensions, health care coverage, retirement,
and other benefits for more than 190,000 non-teaching public school employees
and retirees.
Founded in 1937, the organization manages more than $9 billion in assets for
its members. Despite its success in serving its members, the organization did
not always serve its internal staff as effectively. Recognizing the changing
world around them would demand adaptability for the future, SERS set out to
build a “Change-Ready Culture”. When SERS’ employees first completed the
Denison Organizational Culture Survey in 2006, their results resembled the
proverbial “donut of doom”. When resurveyed in 2009, the results were
incredibly different -- averaging 60 percentile point increases in each
quadrant of the survey. Join us for our next Webinar featuring Lisa Morris,
Executive Director at SERS, as she shares the process her organization used to
transform their top-down management style into bottom-up, and how this is
driving their journey for leadership and culture transformation.
