New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 9 - EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT › Subtitle A - Governor's Office › Chapter I - Executive Orders › Part 2 - Executive Orders (Malcolm A. Wilson) › Section 2.11 - Executive order no. 11: relating to equal employment opportunity for women in state government

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
It is the policy of New York State to encourage employment
					 opportunities for women at all levels of State government and to make State
					 government fully reflective of the needs, interests and talents of all of our
					 population.
Therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in me as
					 Governor of the State of New York, and in order to promote the active
					 recruitment, training and advancement of women in State departments and
					 agencies, I, Malcolm Wilson, do hereby establish the following steps to be
					 followed by each State agency.
I.
				  Agency and Department Actions.
Each State agency or department, with the assistance and
					 guidance of the State Department of Civil Service, shall:
develop and implement a recruitment and informational
					 campaign directed at encouraging women to enter State service. Each agency and
					 department shall review its current recruitment procedures to insure that these
					 procedures do not discourage such entry, especially at middle and top
					 management levels;
insure that women are fairly represented in all training
					 programs, whether technical, professional or administrative;
assess the eligibility for advancement of current employees
					 to assure the objective consideration of women for promotional opportunities
					 and training opportunities. Each agency and department shall review the
					 employment records of employees excluded in the past from movement into
					 administrative and management positions to determine if a lack of opportunity
					 to participate in training programs has contributed to their non-advancement,
					 and shall to the maximum extent feasible provide for new training opportunities
					 in such cases;
remove barriers to the entry of women into State government
					 and to their promotion in State service by reviewing and analyzing the
					 relevance of current job qualification requirements and removing any
					 requirements that are not specifically related to the job to be performed and
					 that serve only to limit full and flexible job opportunity;
designate personnel responsible for the development and
					 effectiveness of programs aimed at achieving equitable representation of women
					 at all levels within that agency or department.
II. Reports to the Governor.
The head of every State agency shall report to the Governor
					 biannually on the specific efforts such agency has undertaken to achieve an
					 equitable representation of women at all job levels within that agency. The
					 agency heads shall supply to the Governor any information which the Governor or
					 the Secretary to the Governor requests to demonstrate implementation of this
					 order and any further orders directed at fair employment in State
					 government.
