Learning and Organizational Development Sets a Shared Direction
New vision and mission reflect an expanded role in talent management and organizational effectiveness.
Learning and Organizational Development (L&OD) in Human Resources has developed a new vision and mission that express the department's shared purpose and growing role in supporting people and organizational success across the Davis campus and UC Davis Health.
The statements build on an established foundation: L&OD has been operating under a shared departmental strategic plan aligned with the HR strategic plan. The new vision and mission capture the purpose and long-term aspirations guiding that work.
Alongside talent development and organizational consulting, L&OD oversees employee experience, performance planning and appraisal, and talent review and planning. Together, these functions connect how UC Davis supports employees, develops capabilities, aligns performance with organizational goals, and prepares for future talent needs.
VISION
Aligning capabilities, systems and people for sustainable impact
MISSION
We partner with individuals, teams, and leaders to provide comprehensive offerings and programs from individual learning to organizational effectiveness. We ensure every employee has the capabilities to co-create meaningful change, achieve sustainable success, and cultivate a thriving organizational culture.
For employees, managers, and organizational leaders, this shared direction means a more connected approach to learning, employee experience, and organizational change. The vision and mission will guide how L&OD designs its programs, partners with clients, and assesses its contributions to UC Davis’ success.
