David Greenhalgh had an idea — now he’s saving

David Greenhalgh had an idea — now he’s saving CalPERS $91,000 and 43 trees a year! The Idea Factory is our employee-driven innovation program designed to inspire team members to share ideas and solutions to improve CalPERS. Greenhalgh, who managed the Employer Communications Unit for our Customer Education and Outreach Division (CEOD) at the time he shared his idea, felt it was redundant to mail Circular Letters and knew something needed to be done. “Any time we can save money and make things a little leaner and more efficient, it makes us all happy,” says David.

Are you a CalPERS team member who has an idea that could add business value to CalPERS? If so, submit it to the Idea Factory!

We have a proud tradition of charitable giving at

We have a proud tradition of charitable giving at CalPERS. Although COVID-19 has altered how we go about our day-to-day lives, the spirit of "neighbor helping neighbor" has not changed. It's as strong as ever and the need to give is even greater this year. Socks for Seniors is our annual donation drive for the residents of a senior living community near our headquarters in Sacramento. We normally host this drive during lunch on campus but, keeping safety in mind, collected electronic monetary donations and set up a box for in-kind gifts.

With the donations collected, team members were able to assemble 100 gift bags filled with socks, lotion, body wash, Kleenex, and Chapstick! And, to make them more special, each gift bag included a handwritten holiday card. We hope these gifts will help brighten the holidays of our neighbors!

Over the weekend CalPERS team members participated

Over the weekend CalPERS team members participated in the annual Run to Feed the Hungry 5k/10k. A holiday tradition in the Sacramento community, this race raises money for the Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services. Wanting to keep the spirit alive, yet stay safe during the pandemic, the race was held virtually. CalPERS team members raised $3,686.30 and had 95 participants, including a few pups! Thank you to our team members for their generosity.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to our team members who work in the mailroom! They have been coming into the office every day during the pandemic to ensure that the mail gets to our program areas in a timely manner, so we can provide excellent service to our members and employers.

In the last week of October they hit their service level agreement of opening, scanning and indexing all incoming mail for 100 consecutive days. This is a huge achievement! This team touches between 2,500 to upwards of 4,000 pieces of mail each day, and we are so grateful for their hard work and dedication.
