Inclusion Plan

The Inclusion Advisory Council (IAC) Charter states that a responsibility of the IAC is to develop, implement, and communicate an annual Inclusion Plan. The IAC finalized this plan in June of 2023 and is actively working on the goals below.

Create a framework for employee participation, advisement, compliance, analysis, and communication to build and maintain an inclusive employee program in Larimer County.

MEASURE: Utilize the IAC to complete a County Inclusion policy.  By the end of 2023, maintain and update as needed the Inclusion Advisory Council web page that presents workforce demographic information, communication, tools, resources and other items the IAC recommends.

  • Initiative 1:  Create a policy that supports inclusive behavior and expectations for County employees and recommend where in the organization the policy is housed.
  • Initiative 2:  Communicate the employee demographics and characteristics to employees via various resources.
  • Initiative 3:  Establish a communication plan around inclusion work and initiatives.
  • Initiative 4: Evaluate and recommend steps to create ERG’s (employee resource groups).

Increase inclusion awareness and knowledge in our workforce. Identify opportunities to support underrepresented employee groups and provide appropriate and necessary tools and resources. 

MEASURE: On the 2023 employee survey, increase the overall ratings of questions related to inclusion. 

  • Initiative 1: Learn and recognize what other departments and leaders are doing currently around diversity and inclusion.
  • Initiative 2: Provide recommendations on ways to encourage and attract a diverse applicant pool and how to transition that diverse applicant pool into hires.
  • Initiative 3: Research the use of “chief” in job titles.

Increase the identification, self reporting, support, and hiring of individuals with disabilities. 

MEASURE:  By the end of 2023, increase the percentage of employees self-reporting as having a disability. In 2020, 5.11% of employees self-reported they identify as an individual with a disability, in 2021 it was 7.3%, and in 2022 it was 8.6%. The 2020 Census data reported that 9.7% of the Larimer County population reports having a disability. 

  • Initiative 1: Identify additional strategies for posting jobs with high visibility/access for individuals with disabilities.
  • Initiative 2: Create a specific campaign (communication and education) for disability awareness, etiquette, self-reporting, relationship building, and job coaching.
  • Initiative 3: Provide education and information to staff regarding awareness of barriers within workspace for individuals with disabilities (i.e., not blocking walkways or putting printers on top of cabinets, storage of office supplies, etc.)
