Workplace culture sets the tone in every organization. To help create and promote a strong and healthy workplace culture at Georgia Tech, several units and colleges on campus have implemented a Staff Culture Advisory Council. To date, these councils have been successful in improving staff morale; providing more opportunities for staff to develop within their careers and serve in leadership roles; and empowering staff to share their experiences in an open and trustworthy manner. 

This fall, Administration and Finance (A&F) created its own Staff Culture Advisory Council to serve as an advisory committee to leadership to:​

• Create a collaborative environment​,
• Build workplace relationships​,
• Foster employee wellbeing​, and
• Promote equity, diversity, and inclusion.
