Org doing great work - Administrative Assistant Center for Human Development Employee Review

It aligns with my core values in helping others. The work is meaningful and I feel I make a difference. The management is very supportive of staff continuous learning and the teams work together well.

In the world of mental health, and substance abuse, the work never ends.

CHD operates as a modified holacracy; empowering self-managed teams to accomplish the vital work of providing Public Health, Behavioral Health, DD and Veterans Services for Union County residents. The executive function of the organization is provided by an Administrative Council, a team which provides strategic direction without micro-management. CHD provides a supportive and inclusive environment, has a low turnover rate, and provides excellent retirement contributions. CHD operates in a beautiful area with lots of outdoor recreation opportunities.

CHD’s structure and culture are not for everyone. For those who thrive in a traditional top-down structure, CHD can be challenging. Individuals who prefer clear hierarchy, closely directed supervision, and decision-making driven primarily by management may find this model less comfortable. However, for team members who value autonomy, shared leadership, collaboration, and accountability, CHD offers a uniquely rewarding and empowering workplace. The city and county are small. The nearest airport is nearly two hours away.
