Office of Diversity & Outreach

The Office of Diversity & Outreach was established in January of 2003 by the Employee Relations Director, to promote the importance, benefit and necessity of maintaining diversity within the City of Milwaukee's workforce and to ensure compliance with applicable City policies, ADA regulations, fair employment, anti-harassment and discrimination laws for City of Milwaukee employees by developing and revising policies to keep pace with changes in laws, disseminating policies, facilitating training, by providing an alternative method of reporting violations, and by promptly investigating reported violations of those policies and laws.  If an investigation discloses a violation has occurred the Human Resources Compliance Officer will work with department heads and managers to implement the corrective recommendation or a reasonable alternative.
