body
DEPARTMENT: Central Human Resources
ORIGINATOR: Sarah Gilliam
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Ken Klein 10/17/23
PURPOSE: ADOPTING THE SNOHOMISH COUNTY EXECUTIVE BRANCH EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY PLAN FOR 2023-2024
BACKGROUND: Overview: A central goal of the County’s affirmative action efforts is for the County workforce to reflect the qualified members of the overall County population. Reaching this goal involves providing the qualified members of underserved County populations equal opportunities to gain and retain employment with the County in their fields of work. Due to the size of the County workforce, the County is an “EEO4” entity for purposes of gathering and tracking employee demographic information required for federally mandated reports. Definitions provided by the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) are applied for purposes of the County’s information tracking efforts and are utilized here to assess the County workforce. Per the EEOC definitions for an EEO4 entity, the federally designated racial and ethnic groups are White (not of Hispanic origin), Black (not of Hispanic Origin), Hispanic, Asian or Pacific Islander, and American Indian or Alaskan Native. Information is also gathered for employees identifying two or more EEO4 ethnicities. Information gathering is voluntary, and a significant percentage of County employees do not self-identify an EEO4 category. The job categories designated by the EEOC for County workers are: Administrative Support; Officials and Administrators; Paraprofessionals; Professionals; Protective Service Workers; Service and Maintenance; Skilled Craft Workers, and; Technicians.
