We value our human capital and show it every day in how we support them with excellent benefits, top-tier training, and a collegial environment where achievement is encouraged and rewarded, colleagues bond and lifetime friendships can form.

The City of Houston provides an abundance of ways to get involved with your colleagues. We have Safety and Wellness, which improve employee well-being and underlie why the city is one of the healthiest workplaces around. Also, PSRW provides a chance to spotlight the contributions of public servants, and the CMC gives employees a chance to pay it forward and contribute to local non-profits that improve quality of life for less-fortunate residents.
