The mission of the Office of Equal Employment Opportunity (OEEO) is to ensure equal employment opportunities for all departmental applicants and employees, to strive for a work environment free of discrimination and harassment, and to provide for the recruitment, promotion and retention of a qualified workforce which is representative of the public we serve.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Section (OEEO) is responsible for developing, implementing and advising on policies and procedures supporting the Department's EEO Program. OEEO provides training and consultation to departmental employees on its policies to ensure the workplace is free of employment discrimination on the basis of race, sex (including gender, gender identity, and sexual harassment), color, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, physical or mental disability, medical condition, political affiliation/opinion, marital status, sexual orientation, and retaliation. This includes ensuring equal opportunity for applicants and employees at all levels in testing, hiring, training, promotion, and other benefits and privileges of employment. The OEEO oversees the discrimination complaint process including EEO investigations and informal resolution of EEO issues.
