At the City of West Lafayette, we are not all the same. And that is our greatest strength. We draw on the differences in who we are, what we have experienced, and how we think. Because to serve our diverse community, we believe in including everyone. 

To that end, the mission of the Department of Human Resources (HR) is to foster a healthy, productive, rewarding work environment and offer administrative and consulting services to City departments and employees. 

HR strives to deliver programs, processes, and services centered on recruiting and retaining highly qualified, skilled, and productive employees motivated to serve the citizens of West Lafayette in the most efficient and creative manner. 

Our goal is to perform these functions with professionalism, integrity, consistency, and caring, and to respect the dignity and diversity of everyone with whom we interact.
