Translations:Wikimedia Engineering/June 2017 changes/21/en

The process that brought us to these changes began informally shortly after Victoria arrived, and took on a more formal tone once Wes announced his departure in May. Katherine asked Anna Stillwell, the Foundation's newly-appointed Chargée d’Affaires in the Talent & Culture department, to facilitate a consultation with both departments to identify their pain points, and better understand their cultural and structural needs. After collecting feedback from 93 people across the two departments, as well as stakeholders around the organization, she offered a draft proposal for open comment within the Foundation. After making some changes to reflect staff feedback, the Foundation’s leadership team decided to proceed with the changes described above.
