Equal Employment Opportunity Commission: Organization for the Future

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) works to prevent discrimination from occurring in the workplace, eliminate discrimination that has occurred in the workplace and investigate and adjudicate allegations of such discrimination.

The EEOC serves every industry, every segment of the population, and every part of the country. Its workload nationwide and in its individual offices is affected by such things as the state of the economy, demographic characteristics of the workforce, the growing immigrant population of the nation, and the challenges of serving customers from diverse backgrounds and with varied English-speaking abilities.

The EEOC asked the National Academy to assist in preparing the restructuring plan and the strategic human capital plan required by the President’s Management Agenda and related Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Office of Personnel Management (OPM) directives.
