Workforce Plan (2018-22)

A Message from Our Chief Executive Officer

Everything we do at CalPERS is focused on our mission to deliver the retirement and health security our members have earned. With over 1.9 million members counting on us, it takes a dedicated team to deliver on that promise.

Workforce planning is a key business strategy to recruit and retain the high caliber of talent we need to achieve our mission and to maintain our reputation as a destination employer. People are the key to our success.

The CalPERS 2018-22 Workforce Plan is the roadmap to help ensure our talent needs can support current and future business commitments and goals. It's a by-product of the CalPERS 2017-22 Strategic Plan (PDF), which is our guide to navigating the major risks and opportunities we face. And it's intended to support all CalPERS divisions and offices whose goals are focused on supporting our members.

At the heart of the plan is a proactive and ongoing process in which CalPERS leaders at every level support their team members, mitigate workforce risks, and track and align resources with business priorities in real time. As we continue to look to the future, we'll strive to ensure our employees have the competencies and resources they need to make the best decisions in support of our service to members.

On behalf of the entire CalPERS team, I invite you to explore our Workforce Plan.

Thank you,

Marcie Frost
Chief Executive Officer

CalPERS Story

CalPERS is about people. It is about the dedicated individuals who serve, or have served, California at the state, regional, and local level, through a career in public service.

For more than eight decades, CalPERS has built retirement and health security for these public servants. As the nation's largest public pension fund, we ensure our members' benefits and earned retirements are as enduring as the state they maintain.

To support our members, we also invest in the health and infrastructure of the Golden State itself—building portfolios that bolster local business and funding enterprises that directly influence and stimulate our economy. We have an unwavering commitment to financial security in retirement. The long-term nature of our benefits reflects our long-term investing horizon and our commitment to generations of public employees.

Our pension fund serves more than 1.9 million members in the CalPERS retirement system and administers benefits for nearly 1.4 million members and their families in our health program.

We are proud to serve those who serve California.

We Serve Those Who Serve California

To achieve this, we always keep OUR VISION in focus, which is to be a respected partner, providing a sustainable retirement system and health care program for those who serve California.

We are guided to do this by OUR MISSION, which is to deliver retirement and health care benefits to members and their beneficiaries.

What drives us is OUR CORE VALUES, which are enduring, passionate, and distinctive beliefs that inspire our culture and our priorities.
