In April of 2014, the County Administrator’s Office created the Recruitment Opportunities Work Group consisting of representatives from the Human Resources Department, County Counsel, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Office. The Work Group successfully researched and developed more robust and engaging outreach and recruitment strategies for underrepresented groups within the community. The goal is to promote equal employment opportunities, diversity, and equity within our workforce.
Referral Update:
In January 2015, the County's outreach plans were was rolled out to the department heads and it was well-received. In February 2015, the Work Group rolled the plan out to the departmental Administrative Services Officers and the Equal Employment Opportunity Coordinators to develop and implement their individual departmental plans.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
CONSIDER accepting the annual EEO Outreach and Recruitment Report, reflecting departmental and County outcomes to reaching underrepresented groups within the workforce. (Antoine Wilson, EEO Officer)
