Diversity and Equity

Workforce Equity

The City of Sacramento is committed to becoming a more diverse and equitable organization in assessing, evaluating, and building infrastructure, operations, policy, and programs that establish systemic capacity and results in workforce equity. The City’s Race & Gender Equity Action Plan (RGEAP) calls for a coordinated and collective response to the following overarching goals for the City of Sacramento:

Increasing employment, retention, and promotion of people of color and women.
Improving communication, internally and externally, regarding outreach, recruitment, and hiring processes.
Providing best-practices resources to managers who hire to increase equity.
Creating new partnerships and collaborations both internal and external to move workforce equity forward.

What do we mean by Racial Equity?

Racial equity is a set of social justice practices, rooted in a solid understanding and analysis of historical and present-day oppression, aiming towards a goal of fairness for all. As an outcome, achieving racial equity would mean living in a world where race is no longer a factor in the distribution of opportunity. As a process, we apply racial equity when those most impacted by the structural racial inequities are meaningfully involved in the creation and implementation of the institutional policies and practices that impact their lives (Adapted from Anti-Oppression Resource and Training Alliance (AORTA) and GARE).

Equity is focused on outcomes. Equity is not about fair people. Equity is about fair systems. Getting the bias out of the systems is key. Lives of people who have been historically excluded are measurably better through active participation in processes that affect them. Where I work, and I think this is the PIVOT is we don't just measure who have been historically excluded. We measure every major group and compare it to the general population overall. Check out this short 3 minute video to learn more about Targeted Universalism.

The Race & Gender Equity Action Plan (RGEAP) 2020-2025

The 14 recommended outcomes and actions in the RGEAP are intended to inspire accountable action to advance workforce equity.

Normalizing and operationalizing these outcomes and actions requires different levels of effort and timespans. Some recommended goals may be accomplished by relatively simple administrative changes. However, most outcomes will require all departments to identify capacity gaps, learn equity-centered practices, leverage resources, and engage in change management processes to achieve systemic change.

Each City department has an Equity Team to address the department’s unique needs around workforce equity. The teams utilized a 43-point assessment to establish a baseline for their departments, which is being used to identify priorities connected to the 14 outcomes and actions and will be reported through annual benchmarking.

Public reporting of progress to come.
