6.3: Equitable Employment
Establish, encourage, and enforce a climate of fair and equitable treatment for all employees regardless of race, creed, color,
national origin, age, or sex.
Other Information:
This objective will be pursued in part through the following actions: • Develop, implement, and ensure compliance with policies,
practices, and procedures that foster fair and equitable treatment of all staff. • Monitor Board EEO training and awareness
activities (including disability and sexual harassment awareness training and EEO training for officers, managers, and supervisors)
and career development, recruitment, outreach, and intern programs. • Design and implement a new EEO web-based training program.
• Support special interest groups, and sponsor ongoing programs and awareness activities. Discussion: The Board of Governors
is committed to the hiring, development, compensation, and promotion of staff based on an individual’s qualifications, abilities,
and job performance. The policy of the Board is to promote equal opportunity in every aspect of employment. The Board’s policies
and practices address the issue of equal treatment of all employees in employment practices and hiring initiatives and include
targeted initiatives for women, people of color, and those with disabilities. The Board emphasizes that equal employment opportunity
is part of effective management, as well as a legal requirement, because it focuses on using the talents of all human capital.
The Board’s Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Program Director continually reviews the criteria for measuring success in
accomplishing the Board’s EEO objectives; validates Board practices, programs, and procedures against those objectives; and
continuously monitors results and discusses issues with division directors and their oversight committees, and with employees,
in order to establish and maintain an equitable and fair environment in which all employees have the opportunity to attain
their full potential.
