What is "SWE"?
SWE is the acronym for Supportive Work Environment. The supportive work environment concept became an initiative to guide the development of a supportive work environment at UCSF. The SWE unit team operates under the Work~Life Resource Center. Several committees bring the Initiative to life and into practice.

Our Mission
We develop, implement, and monitor strategies, programs, and activities designed to create a more supportive work environment at UCSF, through collaborative efforts with other departments and units.

Our Vision
Our vision is to be the catalyst of change in the UCSF culture, whereby the supportive work environment ideal itself becomes inherent to the culture, negating the need for a dedicated unit to facilitate, support, and drive it.
