Tide Resource Groups are a continuous, year-round team that provides resources and support to a specific part of the HealthWest workforce. Often, TIDE Resource Groups are organized around a particular culture, demographic, characteristic, or common interest. TIDE Resource Groups will establish a dedicated team to ensure that individuals within that group are included, supported, and represented, have access to resources, and that opportunities for education and professional development are provided to all staff.
While initially composed of HealthWest staff, TIDE Resource Groups may evolve to include participants from beyond the agency. Given the size and complexity of HealthWest, TIDE Resource Groups will need to partner with internal teams and departments to further the work of both and will need to recognize areas of intersectionality (and coordinate with other resource groups accordingly).
Finally, TIDE Resource Groups are meant to have internal and external components; in other words, TIDE Resource Groups support HealthWest staff and influence our organizational culture, but they also interact with, contribute to, and draw upon the larger Muskegon community.
