The Office of Caregiver Belonging drives the strategic efforts to build an inclusive culture by offering timely supports and relevant resources addressing policies, practices, and caregiver lived experiences, focuses on our caregivers, and we know when we enable them to thrive, they can bring their best and give their best to the people we care for and the people we save.
Every caregiver across ChristianaCare brings distinct insights based on their combination of gender, gender identity, age, culture, ethnicity, religious beliefs, personality, world experiences, upbringing, abilities, and more.
At ChristianaCare, we believe those differences are a powerful asset, because they reflect the diverse nature of our globally diverse staff, patients, and the communities we serve. Maintaining a diverse workforce ensures that our caregivers can communicate effectively with visitors, patients, family members and each other.
The Office of Caregiver Belonging drives strategic efforts to build an inclusive culture by offering timely supports and relevant resources addressing policies, practices, and caregiver lived experiences, firmly believes patient-and-family-centered care, organizational excellence and the caregiver experience are enhanced by our diverse workforce where everyone is empowered to make a difference.

Employee Resource Groups
Providing connection, inspiration and a forum for caregivers and their supporters with common bonds, interests and backgrounds, our many employee resource groups (ERGs) were formed and led by our caregivers as a way to share information, ideas and solutions.
ERGs at ChristianaCare are dedicated to fostering a sense of belonging and enhancing the caregiver experience. They engage all caregivers to unleash their potential by:
- Enhancing professional development for members
- Creating a sense of community and work culture where all people are valued, empowered and given opportunities to contribute
- Driving business objectives and goals to create an exceptional caregiver experience
