About us: 

 

          The Human Resources Department is a proactive, strategic “business partner” to the city, committed to providing quality service in all human resource areas.  We focus on integrity, responsiveness, and sensitivity for all 600+ employees of the City of Danbury.            

          The department facilitates and manages the development of employee-oriented programs, while influencing positive management-workforce relationships. The department establishes, administers, and communicates sound policies, rules, and practices that treat employees with dignity and equality while maintaining organizational compliance with employment and labor laws, city directives, and labor agreements.             

          The department is also responsible for the negotiations and administration of all collective bargaining agreements, as well as promoting and recruiting the best qualified people while recognizing and encouraging the value of diversity in the workplace.

     

   
  
Our accomplishments:

          The Human Resources Department is committed to providing innovative human resource solutions while maximizing the value of our greatest asset - our employees.        

          The department promotes growth, accountability and increased skill level within our staff.  We spearheaded the initiative to provide forms on a shared computer drive in order to give all employees access to important human resource information and tools at any time. The department continues to review and revise existing policies as well as develop and implement new policies as appropriate.             

          The department also strives to serve individuals as a source of information and expertise in all areas of Human Resources.  By updating our webpage to include more pertinent recruitment information we were able to enhance service communication while reducing spending and controlling costs.          

          The department will continue to ensure a safe and discrimination free environment to the City of Danbury’s valued workforce by maintaining compliance with employment laws and bargaining unit contracts; providing management and employee training; and developing and updating policies and procedures. Employee training will continue in areas of effective leadership, anti-harassment and sensitivity training, and employment law and government regulations.
