State of Wisconsin Department of Corrections Equity and Inclusion Plan 2024-2026
The Equity and Inclusion Plan of the Department of Corrections (DOC) reaffirms the guidelines of EEO and AA, intending to protect the public, the staff, and the people in their care through integrating holistic E&I practices. The plan acknowledges the employees as the most essential resource of the Department. The plan guides actions within four identified goals responsive to Executive Orders #1 and #59 and the Bureau of Equity and Inclusion (BEI) Enterprise Recruiting Program directives: increasing diversity among the applicant pool, addressing hiring disparities in underutilized job groups within employment, creating inclusive environments where people feel safe, welcome, and heard, and promoting a respectful culture, free of bias, that values diversity and actively engages in inclusion.
