The NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) enriches the environment and protects public health for all New Yorkers by providing 1.1 billion gallons of high quality drinking water, managing wastewater and stormwater, and reducing air, noise, and hazardous materials pollution. DEP is the largest combined municipal water and wastewater utility in the country, with nearly 6,000 employees. DEP’s water supply system is comprised of 19 reservoirs and 3 controlled lakes throughout the system’s 2,000 square mile watershed that extends 125 miles north and west of the City.

The Bureau of Organizational Development & Human Resources (OD&HR) is the Agency’s internal consultant/partner on organizational culture change and human resources matters for a workforce of approximately 6,000 employees.

We collaborate with employees, management, employee representatives, employee affinity groups, and other City agencies to develop sustainable policies, procedures, and practices. OD&HR insures our operation is staffed with the best-qualified, developed, and engaged employees.
