Executive's Mission
|
|
The
mission of the King County Executive Branch is to "enrich
the social, economic and environmental vitality of the region by providing
high quality and responsive public services." |
Viewing government as an instrument
of change, we envision "King County as a collaborative, responsive,
innovative and progressive regional government."
We continue to value the diversity of our work force as the key to providing
effective culturally competent services to our many communities. We also
value the diversity of our many communities as a primary source of applicants
for our work force.
We believe that diversity and equity are basic foundations of effective
service provider teams, therefore, we:
-
work to attract
and retain committed, talented and diverse work force capable of addressing
complex challenges;
-
create bias-free
work environments that promote diversity, equity, and productivity
and where our employees and citizens can feel respected communicate
freely, and contribute fully;
-
provide leadership,
role modeling, encouragement, support and resources to foster innovation
in meeting our goals, and to ensure the implementation of this plan;
-
hold ourselves
accountable, make our results known, and celebrate our successes to
further promote the values of diversity, equity and productivity;
and
-
lead the region
in addressing the effects of discrimination.
To assist in the fulfillment
of this mission, the King County Executive Branch has established a Affirmative
Action Plan with goals and timetables to correct underutilization and
articulate a diversity friendly environment in pursuit of diversity, equity,
and productivity values at the workplace.
