During his tenure with the Labor Department, Reich has worked relentlessly to improve the job prospects of all Americans. Under his leadership, the Labor Department has launched several major initiatives to build the skills of American workers and ease the transition from secondary education to the world of work and ensure that workers are given adequate time off to care for a new child or an ill family member. To serve customers and build value for shareholders, we must create a workplace where we are valued and recognized as whole people. We also must transform the way business participates in the education of the American workforce. Ceridian has entered into a number of partnerships with community schools because we want to demystify the world of work and make it real for high school students.
Future prosperity depends on today's students being prepared for tomorrow's jobs.
We want to create an enduring sense of belonging and interconnectedness.
