Statewide Organizational Development

CalHR’s Statewide Organizational Development Unit provides guidance and resources, including how to develop and conduct effective organizational change management.

Organizational Change Management

OCM is the practice of guiding people through workplace change – new tools, team workflows, or processes. OCM helps you get to the desired state faster, with fewer roadblocks, and with results that last.

Community and Events

We want state departments to have plenty of opportunities to discuss OD.  This can help OD Practitioners share their strategies and best practices.

We have several ways for OD Practitioners to connect with one another.
