EEO is for everyone. It is the law! It is the right of all persons to work and advance on the basis of merit, ability, and potential; regardless of their race, sex, age, religion, disability, color, or national origin.
Affirmative Employment Programs
Federal EEO programs include affirmative action for employment as well as discrimination complaint processes and remedies.
These programs are implemented to ensure that minorities, women, and disabled individuals, who were historically excluded from representation in the workplace, are accorded hiring, promotional, and other advancement opportunities.
Discrimination Complaint Processes and Remedies
A system which addresses and corrects discriminatory practices and policies if and when they occur. As a Federal employee or applicant for employment, you have the right to a workplace free of unlawful discrimination. You also have a right to freedom from retaliation for filing an EEO complaint, participating in the EEO complaint process or opposing unlawful discrimination.
