Human Resources

The City of Harrisonburg Human Resources Department, joined by the Benefits Study Committee, conducted an organization-wide initiative in early 2024 to understand what benefits City employees would like to see enhanced or added, and what pressures they are experiencing in their lives and the lives of their families or loved ones that could be positively impacted by benefits. That process resulted in approximately 30 recommendations that now must be studied and evaluated before they can be considered for implementation.

The City of Harrisonburg Human Resources Fiscal Year 2022-2026 Strategic Plan was created in order to help improve internal and external customer services experiences, abandon processes or programs that are no longer serving our organization, and most importantly, to meet the expectations of City Administration and the Executive Leadership Team related to the High Performance Organization Framework and Human Resources best practices.
