Goals:

  • Prioritize diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) within the agency and ensure that diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility is a central tenet in all policy, processes, decisions, and communications that originate from the Comptroller’s Office.

Actions

  • Hired a Chief Equity & Transformation Officer, and created the Office of Equity & Transformation, with eight staff, which is responsible for helping the Comptroller to tap into its existing resources and capacity to create a welcoming, inclusive, healthy, and high-performing organizational culture.
  • Conducted the first ever Fair Practices assessment in which its functions were evaluated by state and federal requirements and compared against federal best practices. This comprehensive report contains analysis and recommendations to strengthen the programs and will serve as a road map for cultivating a fully accessible and inclusive workplace that is free of discrimination, harassment, bullying and retaliation.
  • Cooperatively rebuilding the Fair Practices Office through strengthening policy and procedures to ensure a workplace free of discrimination; raising awareness and familiarity about civil rights and workplace issues impacted by diversity, equity, and accessibility.
  • Created a 508 Compliance Manager position and workgroup to improve accessibility of all resources created/ published by the Comptroller’s office, and to set policy and standards for tech accessibility and accommodations requiring tech solutions.
  • Reinstituted diversity and cultural awareness programming in which educational activities and events highlight special emphasis and observances.
