What EDI means to the State of Colorado
The State of Colorado believes that an equitable, diverse, and inclusive workplace is one where all employees and community partners, whatever their gender, race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, citizenship status, education, disability, socio-economic status, or any other identity, feel valued and respected.
As an employer, the State commits to nondiscriminatory practices and providing equitable opportunities for employment and growth.
Through policy, legislative priorities, and executive action, the State of Colorado and all agencies across the state will create a Colorado For All.
We have a toolkit for people throughout all levels of state government to help bring an equity mindset to their systems, policies, and everyday work as public servants.
