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. 

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. 

Responsibilities 

The Chairman and Chief Executive 

Officer (CEO) is ultimately responsible 

for developing and carrying out all 

EEOD requirements and initiatives in 

accordance with laws and regulations to

To help in fulfilling these 

responsibilities the CEO, or designee,
