Requiring the department of citywide administrative services to administer workplace culture surveys.

A Local Law to amend the New York city charter and the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring the department of citywide administrative services to administer workplace culture surveys

This bill would require the department of citywide administrative services (DCAS) to create a workplace culture survey, to be completed by municipal employees every two years on an anonymous and voluntary basis. The survey would ask employees about their opinions on their workplace culture, management practices, access to promotional opportunities, and other equity-related concerns. This bill would require the commissioner of DCAS to submit a report on their findings from the survey responses. This bill would also clarify that agencies’ annual reports on their efforts to remedy pay disparities and occupational segregation should include both internal and external outreach.
