Innovative Onboarding with Mammoth Lakes’ Path to Success Academy

The Town of Mammoth Lakes has been cultivating ambassadors within its organization through the Path to Success Academy, which educates new and current staff about the agency’s overall goals and vision.

The Path to Success Academy (PSA) was developed to better onboard new employees. Pam Kobylarz, assistant to the town manager, and Jamie Gray, the town clerk and records manager, realized that during the onboarding process, new employees received a firehose of information but didn’t necessarily understand the bigger picture of the organization, its goals, and how they fit in.

“The PSA program serves to break down the silos of our organization as employees from different job functions are brought together in a common learning program,” said Town Manager Rob Patterson. “They learn about other aspects of the organization and how their work impacts others.”
