Citywide Equity and Inclusion (CEI) plays a vital role in ensuring an equitable work environment for all City employees by fostering the City of New York’s global leadership in equitable, diverse and inclusive employment practices. CEI provides best practice guidance to over 80 city government agencies (mayoral and non-mayoral) on the proper and consistent implementation of the City’s EEO Policy and other related non-discriminatory policies and procedures. CEI also designs and implements citywide diversity and inclusion programs, initiatives and trainings that align with and operationalize legal mandates, such as the annual citywide sexual harassment training. CEI develops and collaborates on strategies that fulfill the City’s EEO reporting mandates as well as equity and inclusion initiatives that drive the development, engagement, retention, and advancement of a diverse and inclusive workforce.
CEI’s Office of Citywide Recruitment conducts extensive outreach to educate the public and current city employees on Civil Service career opportunities, advises agencies on large scale recruitment strategies, and manages the New York State 55-a Program, a diversity and inclusion program that allows qualified individuals with disabilities to be hired into competitive class positions without the need to take and pass a civil service exam. CEI aims to increase the number of persons with disabilities employed throughout City government; increase agencies’ awareness and use of the 55-a Program and educate job seekers about the program.
