Compendium of Successful Water Workforce Practices

Perhaps no aspect of water and wastewater treatment is more important than the workforce that performs the day-to-day work needed to provide safe drinking water and to protect our public waterways. For this reason, WEF has collected 21 case studies demonstrating the ways in which the best-in-class water utilities across the country have implemented innovation to optimize the performance of their water workforces. In addition, this compendium has a special focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion in our national water workforce. WEF stands strongly in favor of the greater attention and support for equity in all aspects of our daily life, including the water sector. As you will see in this collection of case studies, water utilities can, and should, act to provide equitable opportunities to everyone in the communities that they serve ... and equitable opportunities for advancement for every worker that they employ.
