Component Mission

The Office of Equal Employment Opportunity (OEEO) leads the ODNI's program to proactively prevent discrimination in employment and ensures that the policies and practices of the ODNI align with the federal government's mandate to be a model employer for the nation. OEEO leads efforts to strengthen compliance with laws and to eliminate discriminatory behavior in the workplace. As the agency's civil rights office, OEEO maintains neutrality in resolving workplace concerns and implements the EEO complaint process in accordance with 29 C.F.R. 1614 and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's Management Directive 110. OEEO also promotes equality of opportunity in employment through outreach, training, consulting, and education. OEEO works collaboratively with ODNI stakeholders to benchmark and implement best practices as described in the EEOC's Management Directive 715 and conducts data analysis to assess compliance risks within the ODNI and broader IC. Recognizing the unique skills of EEO professionals (to include counselors, specialists, special emphasis program managers, investigators, attorneys, and mediators), OEEO convenes a community of practice across the 18 elements of the U.S. Intelligence Community and seeks to maintain the highest professional standards, design and deliver innovative programs, recognize outstanding accomplishments, and share leading industry practices and capabilities. The Chief of OEEO reports directly to the Director of National Intelligence and is the designated agency official for engagement and reporting to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Office of Personnel Management, Congress, and the Department of Justice, as appropriate.
