Human Resources

Human capital — our working staff — is the backbone and boots on the ground of every organization. Every day, staff members work on the Douglas ESD’s many mandates and missions. Investing in and supporting employees is the best way to ensure our organization is operating at peak capacity to serve Douglas County’s students and schools.

The Human Resources department supports and guides managers, employees and member districts through the entire cycle of employment. The relationship begins with recruitment and grows during active employment.

Our HR focus is based on knowledge and respect. A high value is placed on open and fair communication and a continuous commitment for consistency in employment practices, best practices, compliance with state and federal laws and guidelines, OSHA, FMLA, OFLA, ADA and worker’s compensation.

HR is committed to supporting our community, component school districts and our staff.

The Human Resources Department provides a full range of personnel service, including:

• Recruitment
• Training
• Leave Requests
• Staff Well-Being
• Collaboration
• Compliance
• District Support/Contracted HR Services
