Abstract

This report provides an overview of the Equity Agenda Strategic Planning report for Albany County, New York. The initial phase of this project established an Equity Planning Group (EPG) comprised of County department representatives, hosted listening and learning sessions and group discussions with the County departments, analyzed County government workforce demographics, and interviewed employment agencies. The second phase of the project, detailed here, developed countywide strategic components and priority areas as well as goals and objectives for participating County departments.

Moving forward, the Equity Agenda Coordinator within the Albany County Department of Human Resources will continue working with the County departments to continuously refine the Equity Strategic Plan, including its successful implementation. We recommend engaging with the community at large for their input regarding the inequities they experience and their feedback to inform and improve the plan as needed. Additionally, developing strategic planning benchmarks and metrics, as well as establishing a coordinated monitoring system, is critical for the successful implementation of this strategic plan. Finally, budget allocation and objectives are needed.
