Overview

The OCR continues to build its capacity to respond to the increased focus on DEIA and EEO. Currently the larger bureaus have internal DEIA and EEO offices while the smaller bureaus do not have dedicated staff. Consequently, small bureaus do not have the internal subject matter expertise and OCR doesn’t have the bandwidth to support each bureau substantively and independently. Large bureau EEO/DEIA staff need more hands-on support relating to barrier analysis initiatives such as listening sessions and without additional OCR support, they risk producing inadequate, uncoordinated, or erroneous workforce data.

Background

The Office of Civil Rights (OCR) coordinates the enforcement of equal opportunity and accessibility for Commerce employees, job applicants, and users of programs and services operated or funded by the Department of Commerce (Department). Further, OCR has responsibility for ensuring Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO), including affirmative action, for employees and job applicants within the Department. This includes nondiscrimination in activities and projects supported by the Department, including Title VI, Title IX, nondiscrimination for individuals with disabilities and all other civil rights mandates. OCR develops policies and administers programs for implementing civil rights.

The Department recognizes that its leaders and workforce must embrace the tenets of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA). Executive Order 14035 Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in the Federal Workforce, Executive Order 14020 on Establishment of the White House Gender Policy Council, and Executive Order 13985 Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government create an integrated focus on DEIA which enhances the diversity of the Department’s workforce and broadens its outreach to underserved communities. The nation is becoming more and more diverse. Therefore, it is necessary to leverage the various talent pools of the nation's population to maximize productivity. The underutilization of the workforce results in missed opportunities for innovation and productivity. In addition, workplace discrimination leads to financial losses related to losing and replacing workers. Committing to DEIA principles will help correct these operational and economical inefficiencies.

The Department will better serve its workforce and customers if we reflect and leverage the nation's diversity. A diverse workforce with a diverse leadership will be more likely to understand the needs of a diverse customer base. Including a variety of viewpoints and experiences will result in better solutions that will meet the nation’s future needs.

The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) requests Administrative, EEO, and Training professional support to better serve its employees as the focus on DEIA increases and enhances the productivity and diversity of the Department. The staff associated with this contract will enhance efforts to diversify the Department’s workforce, identify internal barriers to Equal Employment Opportunity, and support outreach to underserved communities and equity in service delivery.
