The Minnesota Judicial Branch strives to have employees that represent the communities in which we serve. In fact, Diversity and Inclusion is one of our core values! We believe that diversity and inclusion make the Minnesota Judicial Branch better by providing a place where bringing together a variety of perspectives leads to greater innovation and success.
We define diversity, equity, and inclusion as:
- Diversity means our differences. We are all different, so diversity includes all of us. Diversity recognizes differences.
- Equity is equal opportunity for all persons. Equity recognizes that different people have different starting points.
- Inclusion ensures differences are welcomed. Different perspectives are respectfully heard, and every individual feels a sense of belonging.
We live this value by creating a diverse and inclusive work environment where our differences are valued and viewed as strengths. Some things that we are doing to support a diverse and inclusive work environment are:
- Providing access to diversity resources
- Enhancing diversity-related policies
- Delivering diversity education and training opportunities
- The Committee for Equality and Justice
