Human Resources
The Human Resources Department is committed to supporting the people who serve the Seal Beach community. Our goal is to create a workplace where employees feel valued, supported, and equipped to provide exceptional service to our residents, businesses, and visitors.
We view Human Resources as more than an administrative function. We are a partner and resource to employees, supervisors, and departments throughout the City. Our focus is on attracting and retaining talented employees, developing our workforce, supporting effective leadership, promoting a safe and respectful workplace, and helping employees succeed throughout their careers with the City.
We believe that excellent public service begins with an engaged and supported workforce. Through collaboration, responsive service, continuous improvement, and practical problem-solving, Human Resources works to remove barriers, strengthen our organization, and help City departments deliver the high-quality service the Seal Beach community expects.
The Department also administers the City's employee benefits, recruitment and selection, employee and labor relations, classification and compensation, personnel records, workplace safety, workers' compensation, employee development, and compliance with applicable employment laws and labor agreements.Interested in joining our team?
