The Vice President of Belonging and Workforce Development will be responsible for developing, implementing and advancing a comprehensive and integrated inclusion, diversity and equity (ID&E) strategy in partnership with Children’s senior leaders. This leader will be looked upon to advise senior leaders, medical and operational leaders to address inequities and promote opportunities in the health care system for our workforce, culture, equity and community. The Vice President will ensure strategic and tactical alignment between ID&E governance and supporting entities including the System Senior Team, ID&E Cabinet, the Inclusive Resource Groups (IRGs) and key organizational and community partnerships.

Children’s Wisconsin is the only system dedicated solely to the health and well-being of children. In Milwaukee and throughout the state, they provide kids and their families a wide range of care and support - everything from routine care for earaches or sore throats to life saving advances and treatment options. Children’s Wisconsin is a private, independent, not-for-profit health care system dedicated solely to the health and well-being of children, with two hospitals, located in Milwaukee and the Fox Valley.

Children’s Wisconsin has had a long commitment to addressing inclusion, diversity and equity. This is evident in the progress Children’s Wisconsin has made in increasing the numbers and percentages of workforce of color to almost 25%. This commitment is also evident in the robust infrastructure and committees to support the new Vice President (governance and operations). There continues to be active participation from leadership and employees throughout the system to meeting ongoing goals. The leadership team is excited to partner with an experienced and effective relational leader to develop additional pipeline and belonging strategies and initiatives to ensure employees thrive. The position will have significant visibility internally and externally.
