Workforce Analysis Team
The mission of the Workforce Analysis team is to establish strategies and
guidance for achieving diversity Department-wide. Through the use of
quantitative and qualitative analysis, the Workforce Analysis team conducts
Barrier Analysis of the VA workforce.
Barrier Analysis consists of three steps; Workforce Analysis, Root Cause
Analysis, and Solution Development.
Workforce Analysis consists of determining the degree each group in an
employer’s workforce falls below its expected representation (formerly known as
“under-representation”). This “under-representation” occurs where internal
representation is less than external representation (the Relevant Civilian Labor
Force).
Root Cause Analysis is the process of determining why the triggers (determined
from the workforce analysis step) are occurring.
The Solution Development process consists of determining if there is a business
necessity for the causes of the triggers. If no necessity, then implement a plan
to remove those barriers causing the triggers. This step requires close
coordination with the Outreach and Retention team.
This Team is also responsible for the Department's annual affirmative employment
plan and report which is reported to EEOC.
