For the Seattle Department of Human Resources (SDHR), our most important work focuses on creating a work environment that is welcoming, equitable and inclusive for all grounded in the City's Workplace Values of Racial Equity and Social Justice, Inclusion, Learning, Accountability, and Stewardship.
As part of our focus on promoting workforce equity and an empowering work environment, SDHR manages the Human Resources Investigations Unit (HRIU). This unit was created as part of the Mayor's Executive Order, 2018-04, to improve the City's response to misconduct allegations, as part of the City's effort to address employee concerns about harassment and discrimination. The HRIU handles complaint reports, conducts follow-up investigations and develops findings for employees throughout the City.
You are encouraged to submit reports relating to violations stated in our City’s Personnel Rules, section 1.1. We’re happy to answer your questions, listen to your concerns, and help you explore your options.
You can submit a report online by clicking on the “Report a Concern” button on this page. You can also contact us at shr_hriu@seattle.gov, or call 206.733.9888.

After you complete your report you will be assigned a unique code called a "report key." Write down your report key and password and keep them in a safe place.
