Other Information:

The most valuable asset that EOIR has is its employees. Workforce analysis and succession planning are extremely important to the agency to ensure that operations can continue despite turnover in the staff. EOIR will implement plans to strengthen employee skills and to replenish the workforce through strategic recruitment initiatives to recruit for the skill sets needed for the future. In order to recruit and retain highly qualified individuals, EOIR will continue the policies that make the agency a desirable place to work. To that end, EOIR will emphasize being a “family friendly” workplace by providing a wide range of work life options for its employees, where feasible, recognizing that different operational units within the agency have different staffing needs. The agency also will promote initiatives that support employees in balancing the demands of their professional and personal lives. EOIR will continue to support efforts to promote diversity, ensuring that its management and staff reflect the diverse ethnic and racial cultures that make this nation great. To that end, EOIR will strive to make opportunities available to the fullest extent for women, minorities, and persons with disabilities. Milestone: Creation of staffing plans for each office that take into account new skills needed to achieve EOIR’s mission in the future.
