Citywide Equity & Inclusion

Citywide Equity and Inclusion (CEI) fosters the City of New York’s global leadership in equitable, diverse, and inclusive employment practices and sets the standards for City agencies to implement the City’s Equal Employment Opportunity Policy (EEO Policy), procedures, laws, and City mandates designed to prevent workplace discrimination and harassment under the City’s legally protected categories. This promotes inclusivity, engagement, and retention for the entire 350,000+ City workforce. CEI provides guidance for agency EEO Officers across the City, impacting the workforce across approximately 80 City government entities through the work of these CEI units:

Investigations & Compliance
