Diversity is a core value for the City of Fort Worth because the City recognizes that a diverse workforce
provides many perspectives, views, and ideas that add strength to the City's ability to strategize, communicate
and deliver services. Employing people who come from different demographics furthers the City's
understanding of its customer base and enhances its execution of services.
A key focus at the City of Fort Worth is to have an internal workforce that reflects the diversity of our
Community. Thus, for several years, HR and City Management have had the following 3 goals for each
selection process:
• Find the best candidate for each position through a competitive process
• Develop a workforce that reflects the diversity of the community
• Remove bias from the selection process
Human Resources (HR) reports regularly on the City of Fort Worth's total employee demographics. A summary
of the workforce statistics is also posted annually on the City's Human Resources website:
https://www.fortworthtexas.gov/departments/hr/careers/employment-stats. The following two tables
demonstrate the current makeup of the City of Fort Worth workforce in comparison to the makeup of
residents as of September 16, 2024. The first table provides data on ethnicity while the second table reflects
gender and age data.

progress of minority representation exists in this group with Hispanic employees increasing the most.
• Civil Service positions, as well as Management positions, remain the focus to improve the diversity of
the workforce.
• Over the last ten years, the average age of both the overall workforce (all regular employees), and each
employee group reduced or stayed the same.

Highlights
Current citywide managerial diversity by gender and race confirms that strides have been made by the
organization in the last 10 years to create a more diverse workforce in the managerial, Assistant
Director, Director and Total Management groups. As the City's demographics continue to shift with
increased population growth, there is an opportunity to continue improving the diversity of the
workforce to reflect the composition of the population in the region.
Overall, the City continues to attract applicants from all demographic backgrounds and actions have been
taken to improve recruitment and retention of employees through market competitiveness in pay, a robust
benefit package and offerings like parental and maternity leave benefits.
In closing, the focus on eliminating implicit bias from the hiring process includes diverse interview panels and
involving participants from outside the hiring department. Human Resources reviews all the candidate pools
and the results of each recruitment. The City remains dedicated to finding the most qualified candidates
through a competitive process, building a workforce that reflects the community's diversity, and minimizing
bias in the selection process.
Please contact Human Resources Director Dianna Giordano with questions.
