Microsoft Teams (which Gladney had had in place for over a year, though not used consistently) and other platforms, such as Zoom, quickly became commonplace and allowed us to maintain connection with our staff and teams somewhat seamlessly during the stay-at-home order. Gladney has had a business continuity plan on the shelf for some time, but this was the first real test of how it worked in practice.  [Read More](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/what-has-gladney-looked-like-in-a-covid-19-environment) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/what-has-gladney-looked-like-in-a-covid-19-environment#comments-listing) Topics: [Gladney Leadership](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tag/gladney-leadership), [Gladney Culture & History](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tag/gladney-culture-history) ## [Gladney's I.D.E.A.

My 15 years at Gladney have flown by, and I can truly say I have enjoyed every minute. Gladney is unlike any other place I have worked. Our staff are so passionate and driven toward the work they do, and that is not something you see often in the field of human resources. I have had the privilege of working on several initiatives here at Gladney, such as becoming a Blue Zone Approved Workplace, planning and implementing the Disney Institute's quality standards into the foundation of Gladney culture, being named one of the best places to work in Fort Worth, and now, helping to facilitate the efforts of Gladney's I.D.E.A.

One of these trainings includes [Pathways](https://adoptionsbygladney.com/resources/adoption-training-education/pathways).  This is a two-day training program offered in person at [Gladney's Fort Worth campus](https://adoptionsbygladney.com/resources/visiting-gladney).

You’ve seen the division. From television to social media to our smart phone and emails, it’s hard to ignore what’s happening in our world. I find it downright insane that we have to remind people in 2020 of whose life matters. These times we’re experiencing aren’t new. We just so happen to live a world that’s so technologically savvy that most people have the ability to film at the drop of a hat. From cellphones to dash cams and beyond, we are able to essentially document the world around us, and while mostly beautiful, we are reminded of the ugly, the terrible, and the downright ignorant.  [Read More](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/lives-matter) 2 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/lives-matter#comments-listing) Topics: [Gladney Leadership](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tag/gladney-leadership), [Faces of Gladney](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tag/faces-of-gladney), [Diversity Resources](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tag/diversity-resources) [Next](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/tag/gladney-leadership/page/2) Adoption Programs: -
