Abstract
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is entering the final stage of construction, system integration, and validation. This is a very exciting and challenging phase of the life of an observatory. This phase requires a healthy workplace culture due to the significant pressure staff members may feel when trying to finish a project on schedule. At the Rubin Observatory, we value people’s diversity of experience, expertise, and perspective. We strive to have an inclusive, respectful, and fruitful collaboration between all our Rubin project personnel. Allies at Rubin work towards developing and maintaining a positive workplace culture that strives to increase motivation, improve happiness and satisfaction, and thus retains and attracts a diverse and talented workforce. We expect to continue these efforts in the transition to full survey operations and beyond. This paper describes initiatives that staff in the Rubin project have taken to achieve these goals.
