The Workforce Reimagined Project: A Culture Change Flywheel
A culture change flywheel that makes OIC's equity practices for Black women, tradespeople, and returning citizens consistent internally, engages local employers, and invites national participation.
For 50+ years, OIC of Rocky Mount has advanced equity for Black women, tradespeople, caregivers, and returning citizens. This project transforms that legacy into a structured flywheel: first codifying internal practices, then partnering with local employers to redesign workplace culture, and finally inviting OIC affiliates nationwide to adopt the model. As part of a national workforce network founded to dismantle employment barriers, this project defines how worker-centered systems change is built from the ground up.
