Organization Development

At Olathe, we continually strive to achieve excellence in public service.  We achieve this through a culture centered on our citizens, employees, and the City.  In the Human and Organization Development Department, we focus our attention on being a value-added, strategic partner in helping achieve employee and organizational success.  As a result, we enable our workforce to provide the best possible experience to our internal and external customers and citizens.

• Has passion for our work and the City we service.

• Has fun.
