Diversity, Equity, Inclusion

Description

Since 2005, the city has been committed to advancing equity within our organization and community. Today, the city's goals are achieved through HR's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion program. The programs efforts include surveying and assessing organizational awareness of equity; establishing an Inclusiveness and Diversity Plan and Toolkit; and providing training and resources on equity-related topics. Staff also has formed partnerships with entities focusing on similar efforts to understand issues being experienced locally and to inform the city’s work. The HR program is becoming more strategic by leveraging more resources to operationalize and further advance equity into our culture.

This budget for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion activities will be layered into activity and work of the various existing human resources teams. In future years (beginning 2025), the inputs, outputs and outcomes will be more clearly identified in the other budget line items and proposals.
