The City of Topeka’s Human Resources is responsible for maintaining the current classification and compensation program, benefits administration, training, recruitment and selection, labor relations, and a wellness program. Additionally, the department oversees the negotiation and grievance administration of the bargaining units as well as administers the pre-employment physicals and random drug and alcohol testing programs.

Strategic Goals Include:
  • Incorporate communication, consumer service, and credibility into all the city departments.
  • Recommend the legal framework that supports the changing department needs.
  • Design flexible systems to provide more responsibility and accountability for the executive, managers, supervisor and employees.
  • Evolve the human resources profession into a strategic role as opposed to process management in order to enable departments to become self-reliant and accountable, and allow HR to serve as consultants and policy directors.
  • Develop all the elements of the human resource system of the future to make City of Topeka an employer of choice.
