IT ’ s Change Management team identified departmental representatives for the Agents of Change and Engagement ( ACEs ) team .
The ACEs increased workforce awareness by sharing updates and communicating with peers across the organization .
Beginning in the Spring of 2023 , the project team continued with project activities that included the development of workforce training materials and equipping a training room with technology for hands-on training opportunities .
The dedicated ACEs provided an additional communications conduit for reaching our workforce .
