The council member inquires about the status of the analysis regarding disparities and roadblocks to career progression for city employees. The DCAS deputy commissioner responds:
- DCAS provided the required data to the Office of Data Analytics (ODA) in February.
- They are awaiting ODA's analysis of that data, which is usually available around May.
- Once DCAS receives ODA's analysis, they will analyze it and can then provide findings.

At this point, but I do want to go back to localized 2019.

In May 2021, CCaaS issued recommendations for the development and implementation of pay, employment, and potential retention equity plans.

The mayor's office of data analytics found that white male employees usually hold lower titles in a series such as staff analyst or training for shorter periods of time compared to people of color or female employees.
1:04:45
DeCast pledged that within the year They would continue to work with the office of data analytics to produce a thorough progression analysis that would allow the city to understand and address roadblocks to career progression?
1:04:58
What is the status of the analysis?
1:05:00
And can decays here find things with us at this time?
Katrina Porter
1:05:05
Okay.
1:05:05
So compliance with local law 18 is among 1 of decastes priorities.
1:05:12
With regards to understanding pay equity.
1:05:14
And we do work very closely with Oda to analyze data, and we also, you know, share data with them for them to conduct their analysis.
1:05:24
So for this year, we provided Oda with the required data in February, and we're actually awaiting Ota's analysis of that data.
1:05:37
Which is usually available around May.
1:05:40
Once we receive that data, then Decast will analyze it, and then, you know, we can provide you data at that point.

Great.

We look forward to looking at that.

And does CCaaS believe that offering career counseling services to advise employees of dead and titles or promotional opportunities will help black female employees advance in the workforce.
1:05:59
And I know you testified that this is already kind of done across agencies, but is this something we believe will help move the needle?
Katrina Porter
1:06:06
Absolutely.
1:06:07
We we we totally agree that Korea counseling is a valuable tool to help employees understand their trajectory.
1:06:14
However, as the bill is written, you know, putting the oneness on decast to administer those career council sessions.
1:06:21
It's just not feasible at this time.
1:06:23
But once again, we are absolutely open to have further discussions on how we can figure out the best way to provide city employees with those services.
