Equal Opportunity Training for Supervisors and Managers
Purpose of Training
Training increases awareness of specific equal opportunity-related responsibilities unique to supervisory and managerial positions within the Coast Guard.
About Equal Opportunity Training for Supervisors and Managers
Equal Opportunity training for supervisors and managers as a key element of success, includes effectively implementing the Affirmative Programs of Equal Employment Opportunity, including:
- Knowledge of the annual Management Directive-715 assessment process
- Awareness of Disability Employment Program and reasonable accommodation procedures
- Comprehension of roles and responsibilities in the Equal Opportunity/EEO process
- Ensuring efficient processing of complaints of discrimination
Most civilian hiring decisions are made by
managers and supervisors, but workforce barriers may be
unintentionally caused by employee-supervisor
relationships. Awareness of program requirements and
command AP/EEO goals are critical for those who are in
positions that impact the civilian workforce.
Since resolving complaints at the lowest level
begins with the immediate supervisor, awareness of the
complaint process, including mediation opportunities, is
essential to preventing formal complaints and timely
resolution.
Attending Equal Opportunity training will enable managers and supervisors to clearly:
- Articulate commitment to a fair, inclusive, non-discriminatory workplace free of harassment
- State expectations for employee conduct
- Understand personal accountability for a successful Equal Opportunity Program
Training Requirement
Equal Opportunity training for supervisors
and managers is
recommended within 45 days of when an individual assumes
responsibility as a manager or supervisor (for both
civilians and uniformed personnel). Training may be coordinated
through the servicing Civil Rights Program Manager or
Area/Headquarters Civil Rights Director.
Note: Supervisor/Managerial EEO training is
available at DEOMI, USDA and EEOC.
