“Our differences are the key to the strength of our city.”    At the City and County of Denver, we acknowledge, celebrate, respect and value the diversity of our community and our workforce.     The recent media exposure and the subsequent positive and constructive feedback we’ve received from employees show us that we have clearly struck a nerve. We want to use this revived attention and passion from our employees to open dialogue with the result being the best end product possible. We will suspend the use of the video until we can facilitate this collaboration at an upcoming summit.   The intention of the “Laughing Matters” video as part of our overall training program is to enhance awareness of inappropriate humor in the workplace, not to stereotype or perpetuate stereotypes of any individual or group.   We appreciate the tremendous work done by the Diversity Program and continue to support their efforts to create the best possible working environment for employees.
