RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the Office of Equal Employment Opportunity's Annual Outreach Report and Departmental Outreach Plans as recommended by the Hiring Outreach Oversight Committee.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None

BACKGROUND:

In April of 2014, the County Administrator’s Office created the Recruitment Opportunities Work Group consisting of representatives from the Human Resources Department, the Office of the County Counsel, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Office. The Work Group successfully researched and developed more robust and engaging outreach and recruitment strategies to underrepresented groups within the community. The goal is to promote equal employment opportunities, diversity and equity within our workforce.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County will not be taking proactive steps to ensure that our workforce is diverse which could negatively affect racial and gender equity in all County positions.
