City of Boulder employees make a difference to those who choose to visit or live in our city each year. The Human Resources department provides services that support employees as they grow their careers, navigate life's changes, and go the extra mile for our community and one another.

The HR Team contributes to the City’s high performing organization framework through our strategic partnerships, service delivery and business operations. HR collaborates across the City to help plan strategic initiatives and make sound resourcing decisions about the City’s most valuable asset - it's people.
