While many events are held on Capitol Square, we have encouraged agencies located in other areas of Virginia to hold similar events, from picnics and educational lunch sessions, to walking clubs and weekly lunchtime corn hole games. We also have encouraged agencies to sponsor events that fit within their missions, such as the geology tour offered by the Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy, and a birthday celebration for the Commonwealth recently hosted by the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s office. Everyone is getting in on the action, and our employees are benefiting. So what do activities, Capitol Square tours, educational sessions and group exercise classes have to do with improving the state workforce? These opportunities not only improve organizational culture but they strengthen bonds as well as the physical and mental health of our employees, which can reduce stress, increase productivity and reduce turnover. As these initiatives demonstrate, we are committed to investing in the Commonwealth’s workforce to help advance Virginia’s employment brand, reduce student loan debt, improve talent retention in mission-critical roles and bolster succession planning tools, as well as encourage other Virginia employers to adopt similar incentives.
