Pierce County is a diverse community, and we strive to foster a workforce and workplace culture that reflects the community in which we serve and live. In 2019, Pierce County launched a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiative. Led by the Human Resources Department and County employees, the initiative will utilize input and resources from the community to promote a workplace culture that embraces, demonstrates, and celebrates the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Gender is one measure by which we are gauging our progress towards a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workforce. The charts below provide data on the gender diversity of our management and overall workforce in comparison to Pierce County's population.
