Nine members act in an advisory capacity to the City Council on matters related to personnel such as employment opportunities, equal employment opportunity and policies and procedures impacting Human Resources among other issues.

The Board meets with different departments within the City on a regular basis to receive department profiles related to activities and staffing.  The Board meets at 4:00 p.m. the first Monday of each month in the City Hall 5th Floor Large Conference Room.  Time commitment may include 2-3 hours per month.

Board meetings are always open to the public.  An opportunity for public comment is provided at each meeting in which feedback may be provided to the Board for the purpose of carrying out its powers, duties, and functions under the Charter and the Riverside Municipal Code.  City of Riverside employees are encouraged to utilize their chain of command to resolve personnel issues, as well as other informal and formal administrative processes identified in Memoranda of Understanding and Personnel Policies and Procedures, to include the HR Board, to address personnel matters.
