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:
There is no fiscal impact.
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 cultural competency within our workforce to qualified applicants who reside in the communities that we serve.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will not take proactive measures to help diversify our job applicants and workforce which could negatively affect racial and gender equity in all positions.
