Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging The VIBE of Johnson County Government At Johnson County Government, we call our efforts to create a workplace inclusive of everyone "VIBE."
VIBE stands for voices of inclusion, belonging, and equity. We hope Johnson County employees experience an environment where people
feel they matter
feel invited to contribute
have access to the support they need, and more.
VIBE efforts impact the county’s work environment, talent pipeline, services, and community. We will develop employees who
value and leverage diversity within county teams and
champion inclusion and equity in day-to-day county services.
This integrated approach benefits those we serve within the county, the Kansas City metropolitan area and beyond. Everyone has a role in advancing diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging.
