Office of Equal Employment Opportunity (OEEO)

The DCSA Office of Equal Employment Opportunity (OEEO) is an Independent Office under the Special Staff within Office of the Director designed to help enforce anti-discrimination laws and promote equal and fair opportunities for all segments of society regardless of their differences and is responsible for DCSA’s mandated Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Program. OEEO provides leadership, strategic direction, guidance, technical assistance, and advice to Agency leadership and management, and educates the DCSA workforce regarding the Agency’s EEO Program and functions, and their EEO rights and responsibilities. OEEO plays a neutral, advisory role in the Agency to help foster and support a work environment that is free from discrimination and harassment, and that promotes policies and practices based on merit.

Mission

The Office of Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) will drive innovation and organizational outcomes by utilizing skills from a diverse workforce, eradicate employment discrimination, improve civility in the workplace, and create an environment where all DCSA employees are valued, respected, free to develop and perform to their fullest potential, positioning DCSA as a premier organization.
 

OEEO administers DCSA’s EEO Program in accordance with federal laws, regulations, directives, executive orders, guidance, and Agency policies. OEEO supports the Agency to demonstrate the six essential elements for a model EEO program, as described in Management Directive 715, which are:

  1. Demonstrated commitment from DCSA leadership
  2. Integration of EEO into the DCSA’s strategic mission
  3. Management and program accountability
  4. Proactive prevention of unlawful discrimination
  5. Efficiency
  6. Responsiveness and legal compliance
Any member of DCSA’s workforce or any applicant for federal employment with DCSA who believes they have been discriminated against on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including pregnancy), age, genetic information, physical or mental disability, or reprisal for protected EEO activity should contact OEEO at dcsa.eeo@mail.mil within 45 calendar days of the alleged discrimination.

Elijah E. Cummings Federal Employee Antidiscrimination Act of 2020

DCSA is committed to creating and maintaining a work environment where all individuals are treated with respect and dignity. DCSA seeks to develop and maintain an environment where individuals can enjoy equal employment opportunities free from any form of misconduct, including reprisal, as defined by Federal law or Agency policy. The Agency is deeply committed to advancing equal employment opportunities based on merit.
 
The Elijah E. Cummings Federal Employee Antidiscrimination Act of 2020 amends the Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation (No FEAR) Act of 2002 to strengthen federal antidiscrimination laws enforced by the EEOC and expands accountability within Federal agencies. This law requires Federal agencies to post notification of a finding of discrimination (including retaliation) that has been made against them. The notice must be posted online on the agency’s website for a period of one year, and state that a finding of discrimination (including retaliation) has been made, including identifying the date on which the finding was made, the date of each discriminatory act, the law(s) violated, and to advise employees of the rights and protections available under applicable civil rights laws.
