Equal Employment Opportunity Policy Statement

It is the National Credit Union Administration’s (NCUA) policy to prohibit discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including sexual harassment), age (40 years and over), disability (mental and physical), or reprisal for involvement in an EEO activity. NCUA is fully committed to preventing or correcting unlawful discrimination in its employment policies, procedures, practices, and operations.

All NCUA employees are responsible for implementing this policy in their daily actions, conduct, and decisions. Managers and supervisors must continually maintain a workplace that is free of unlawful hostility, intimidation, reprisal, or harassment. Prompt remedial action must be pursued to correct behavior inappropriate under the policy.

NCUA is committed to maintaining a work environment that is free of retaliation. The agency will take disciplinary action against any NCUA official who retaliates against any employee for participating in the EEO process. Supervisors and managers are expected to take an active role in promoting and implementing the agency’s equal opportunity goals and objectives. Every effort should be made to resolve workplace disputes at the lowest supervisory level and at the earliest stage of the complaint process.

Achievement of the agency’s EEO goals and objectives is not only the responsibility of supervisors and managers but also each NCUA employee. Employees are encouraged to advise supervisors, managers, or the agency’s Director of Equal Opportunity Programs of discriminatory conduct affecting the agency’s work environment.

Each individual is expected to abide by the letter, intent, and spirit of equal opportunity laws and policies applicable to Federal employment. Achievement of our equal opportunity objectives will enhance our ability to accomplish the agency’s mission.
