Citywide Equity and Inclusion (CEI) sets the standards for City agencies to implement the City's EEO Policy. This includes the implementation of initiatives that align with, and operationalize, the legal mandates and legislation designed to prevent workplace discrimination and harassment under the City's legally protected categories. CEI also develops and updates the City's EEO and diversity, equity and inclusion trainings portfolio to promote the awareness of rights, responsibilities and resources for the city workforce.

The unit also organizes mandatory EEO best practices meetings and other educational programs and professional development for EEO professionals; conducts third-party EEO investigations when the agency head or the EEO officer is a party in the matter; promotes compliance with training programs and reporting requirements; and designs and maintains compliance tools and reference resources. In addition, CEI provides guidance to agencies on emerging issues related to fair and effective employment practices, many of which impact retention and inclusivity;

and guides agencies on preparation of their annual EEO plans as authorized by the New York City Charter Chapter 35, Section 814.1.

• Prepare well‑written and well‑reasoned investigative reports that are clear and supported by the facts, including make associated recommendations in accordance with EEO Policy;
• Manage high‑level CEI projects and specialized initiatives;
• Supervise subordinate attorneys, college aides, interns, and CEI support staff, as necessary;
• Manage case practice reviews, including routine reviews of agency EEO complaint and reasonable accommodation files, training records, training content, instructor‑led workshops, and the use of complaint tracking systems;
