The \u201cenergy\u201d in Energy Sciences Network may date to our Department of Energy origins, but the source of ESnet\u2019s power is our multitalented, passionate team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the pace of hiring at ESnet has slowed following the completion of the ESnet6 project in 2022, we welcomed 10 new staff members in 2024 and said goodbye to 6, ending the year with 137, a 3% increase for CY2024 over 2023. We continue to adjust our departments and groups to meet the needs of the mission. This \u201corganism chart\u201d captures our structure and group numbers as of December 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Culture & Engagement at ESnet<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Formed in 2022, the Culture & Engagement (C&E) Committee\u2019s goal is to assess and bolster the health of the organization so that staff are in the best position possible to execute on ESnet\u2019s mission. This requires understanding the current culture challenges, collaboratively developing change initiatives to address areas of friction, and measuring and reporting back on the success of initiatives and long-term organizational health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All-Staff Survey<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The C&E commitee has conducted a rigorous annual all-staff engagement survey since 2022. In 2024 participation in the survey remained strong once again, with 87% of staff completing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
