Our Culture

At STRS Ohio, we have created an open environment for associates to generate new ideas and become leaders.

We eagerly welcome change and actively pursue research, development and evaluation to keep us poised for the future.

We believe in empowering associates to make and be accountable for decisions that benefit the educators we serve. Associates are encouraged to continually enhance their knowledge and skills through higher education and training. Our commitment to total quality is evident in all we do — from answering questions and disseminating information to managing investments on behalf of STRS Ohio members.

We strive to have a diverse culture that welcomes, celebrates, and promotes respect for each individual and recognizes the worth that each individual contributes to the financial security of the membership. We believe that an excellent working environment and benefits can help our associates succeed. That’s why STRS Ohio offers the most advanced technology available, ongoing educational opportunities and competitive associate benefits.
