Equal Employment Opportunity Complaints

The Office of Equal Employment Opportunity (OEEO) is responsible for the overall management of the ODNI EEO Program, and provides IC-wide guidance in developing, implementing, and measuring progress in EEO.

The ODNI is committed to providing equal employment opportunity for all employees and applicants based on merit and without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, and mental or physical disability, pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical condition, and genetic information (including family medical history) and/or retaliation for protected EEO activity. Additionally, ODNI policy safeguards against discrimination and harassment based on sexual orientation and parental status. Prohibited discrimination includes any employment-related action motivated by a listed protected characteristic.

Applicants or employees who believe they have been discriminated against by a listed protected characteristic may raise their concerns to the OEEO.
