Special Emphasis Programs

Federal laws, Executive Orders and implementing regulations from the Office of Personnel Management and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission mandate programs to ensure that equal opportunity in employment and equal treatment of employees exists in the federal sector.

The Special Emphasis Programs were established to assist agencies in assuring that equal opportunity is present in all aspects of employment and that affirmative action is being taken to address under-representation. The goals for the programs are to eliminate discriminatory practices, insure the targeted group is appropriately represented throughout the workforce, and sponsor special activities designed to enhance diversity awareness.
