RECOMMENDATION #3

Implement a regular schedule of mandatory diversity and bias awareness training for all City employees, with special emphasis on mandatory training for supervisors involved in the hiring process.

The Human Resources Training Coordinator will launch an Internal Diversity and Inclusion Committee similar to the Mayor’s Commission. Panel style talks discussing diversity and inclusion for all employees will be held.

The Human Resources staff will conduct an Internal Diversity Pulse Survey to measure current employee impressions about the City’s diversity and inclusion efforts. This also will be used to identify areas where additional resources are needed.
