Equal Employment Opportunity and Diversity Division

The Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) and Diversity Division directs the Department's EEO and Diversity policies, products, and services to optimize the effectiveness of the Department's personnel and operations. Our work is focused on examining barriers to employment and advancement in order to create an environment that is welcoming to all individuals. The Division is responsible for:

  • Adjudicating EEO complaints for all DHS Components; developing and monitoring EEO and diversity program policies, plans, and guidance; 
  • Delivering training, conducting oversight, and administering EEO and diversity programs for DHS Headquarters and its 6,970 employees, and
  • Preparing and submitting a variety of annual progress reports relating to the Department’s diversity and EEO activities.

We strive to ensure that all employees and applicants for employment enjoy equality of opportunity and employment decisions free from unlawful discrimination based on color, national origin, sex, age, physical or mental disability, protected genetic information, or reprisal based on prior EEO protected activity.
