SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: While not 

required by law, the Equal Employment 

Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has 

determined that reissuance of an 

agency’s EEO policy statement each 

fiscal year is a symbol of the agency 

leadership’s commitment to EEO and 

Diversity principles. The FCA 

conducted its annual review of Policy 

Statement FCA–PS–62 on Equal 

Employment Opportunity (EEO) and 

Diversity. The only changes to this 

Policy Statement are minor technical 

changes and a minor change to reflect 

revisions to the regulations 

implementing the Rehabilitation Act. 

The text of the updated Policy 

Statement is set forth below in its 

entirety. All FCA Board policy 

statements may be viewed on FCA’s 

website. From www.fca.gov, select

The Farm Credit Administration Board 

Hereby Adopts the Following Policy 

Statement: 

Purpose 

The Farm Credit Administration (FCA 

or Agency) Board reaffirms its 

commitment to Equal Employment 

Opportunity (EEO) and Diversity 

(EEOD) and its belief that all FCA 

employees should be treated with 

dignity and respect. The Board also 

provides guidance to Agency 

management and staff for deciding and 

taking action in these critical areas. 

Importance 

Unquestionably, the employees who 

comprise the FCA are its most important 

resource. The Board fully recognizes 

that the Agency draws its strength from 

the dedication, experience, and 

diversity of its employees. The Board is 

firmly committed to taking whatever 

steps are needed to protect the rights of 

its staff and to carrying out programs 

that foster the development of each 

employee’s potential. We believe an 

investment in efforts that strongly 

promote EEOD will prevent the conflict 

and the high costs of correction for 

taking no, or inadequate, action in these 

areas. 

The Farm Credit Administration (FCA) 

Board Adopts the Following Policy 

Statement 

It is the policy of the Farm Credit 

Administration (FCA or Agency) to 

prohibit discrimination in Agency 

policies, program practices, and 

operations. Employees, applicants for 

employment, and members of the public 

who seek to take part in FCA programs, 

activities, and services will be treated 

fairly. The FCA Board Chairman and 

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is 

ultimately responsible for ensuring that 

FCA meets all EEOD requirements and 

initiatives in accordance with laws and 

regulations, to maintain a workplace 

that is free from discrimination and that 

values all employees. FCA, under the 

appropriate laws and regulations, will: 

• Ensure equal employment 

opportunity based on merit and 

qualification, without discrimination 

because of race, color, religion, sex 

(including sexual orientation), age (40 or 

older), national origin, disability, status 

as a parent, genetic information, or 

filing of a complaint, participation in 

discrimination or harassment complaint 

proceedings, or other opposition to 

discrimination; 

• Provide for the prompt and fair 

consideration of complaints of 

discrimination; 

• Make reasonable accommodations 

for qualified applicants for employment 

and employees with physical or mental 

disabilities, and provide personal 

assistance services to employees with 

targeted disabilities, as provided under 

the Rehabilitation Act and its 

implementing regulations; 

• Make reasonable accommodations 

based on applicants’ and employees’ 

religious beliefs or practices, consistent 

with Title VII; 

• Provide an environment free from 

harassment to all employees; 

• Create and maintain an 

organizational culture that recognizes, 

values, and supports employee and 

public diversity and inclusion; 

• Develop objectives within the 

Agency’s operation and strategic 

planning process to meet the goals of 

EEOD and this policy; 

• Implement affirmative programs to 

carry out this policy within the Agency; 

and 

• To the extent practicable, seek to 

encourage the Farm Credit System to 

continue its efforts to promote and 

increase diversity. 

Diversity and Inclusion 

The FCA intends to be a model 

employer. That is, as far as possible, 

FCA will build and maintain a 

workforce that reflects the rich diversity 

of individual differences evident 

throughout this Nation. The Board 

views individual differences as 

complementary and believes these 

differences enrich our organization. 

When individual differences are 

respected, recognized, and valued, 

diversity becomes a powerful force that 

can contribute to achieving superior 

results. Therefore, we will create, 

maintain, and continuously improve on 

an organizational culture that fully 

recognizes, values, and supports 

employee diversity. The Board is 

committed to promoting and supporting 

an inclusive environment that provides 

to all employees, individually and 

collectively, the chance to work to their 

full potential in the pursuit of the 

Agency’s mission. We will provide 

everyone the opportunity to develop to 

his or her fullest potential. When a 

barrier to someone achieving this goal 

exists, we will strive to remove this 

barrier. 

Affirmative Employment 

The Board reaffirms its commitment 

to ensuring FCA conducts all of its 

employment practices in a 

nondiscriminatory manner. The Board 

expects full cooperation and support 

from everyone associated with 

recruitment, selection, development, 

and promotion to ensure such actions 

are free of discrimination. All 

employees will be evaluated on their 

EEOD achievements as part of their 

overall job performance. Though staff 

commitment is important, the role of 

supervisors is paramount to success. 

Agency supervisors must be coaches 

and are responsible for helping all 

employees develop their talents and 

give their best efforts in contributing to 

the mission of the FCA. 

Workplace Harassment 

It is the policy of the FCA to provide 

a work environment free from unlawful 

discrimination in any form, and to 

protect all employees from any form of 

harassment, either physical or verbal. 

The FCA will not tolerate harassment in 

the workplace for any reason. The FCA 

also will not tolerate retaliation against 

any employee for reporting harassment 

or for aiding in any inquiry about 

reporting harassment. FCA begins 

prompt, thorough, and impartial 

investigations within 10 days of 

receiving notice of harassment 

allegations. 

Disabled Veterans Affirmative Action 

Program (DVAAP) 

A disabled veteran is defined as 

someone who is entitled to 

compensation under the laws 

administered by the Veterans 

Administration or someone who was 

discharged or released from active duty 

because of a service-connected 

disability. 

The FCA is committed to increasing 

the representation of disabled veterans 

within its organization. Our Nation 

owes a debt to those veterans who 

served their country, especially those 

who were disabled because of service. 

To honor these disabled veterans, the 

FCA shall place emphasis on making 

vacancies known to and providing 

opportunities for employing disabled 

veterans.
