Through strategic partnerships and collaboration, the Human Resources Department recruits, develops, and retains a high performing and diverse workforce, and fosters a healthy, safe, and productive work environment for employees, departments, and the public in order to maximize individual and organizational potential and position Redding Rancheria as an employer of choice.
During 2019 to 2021, our workforce grew to nearly 310 employees at the Redding Rancheria. In keeping with our traditions, we encourage Native Americans to work for our Tribe. Currently our Redding Rancheria workforce is 35% Native American.
The COVID-19 pandemic swept through the world, and our tribal community, causing the Tribe to react quickly and safely for our Members, employees, patients, and community. To keep everyone safe, many of our staff were working from home and some still in the office to continue providing services to our Members and Tribal community. We learned to weave through the difficult times and come together in a strategic and socially distant way to continue to provide service to our people. We are still learning how to maneuver through the changing workforce after the difficult waves of the pandemic. It has raised our readiness, strengthened our position to face future challenges, as well as created innovative ways to manage, retain, and recruit talent with fIexibility and an arising awareness of the strong culture at the Redding Rancheria. We were successful in accomplishing the standards we set forth in making new employees feel welcome in becoming part of the Redding Rancheria family and providing competitive wages and benefits. We also added four paid holidays to our benefits package from 2019 to 2021, for a total of 16 paid holidays per year.
