The City of Riverside is committed to fostering a respectful workplace that requires
all employees and external stakeholders to embrace a culture of transparency and
inclusivity. This includes acceptable behavior from everyone; a workplace that
provides dignity, respect, and civility to our employees, customers, and the public

all members of the public use language appropriate to a collaborative, professional,
and respectful public environment.
