Discusses the Dept. of Homeland Security's (DHS) efforts to identify and address barriers to equal employment opportunity (EEO) in its workforce. Since its inception in March 2003, DHS has faced a number of challenges, one of which is effectively and strategically managing its large workforce (about 216,000 employees) to respond to current and emerging 21st century issues. This testimony discusses: (1) the extent to which DHS has taken steps to identify barriers to EEO in the workplace; (2) efforts DHS has taken to address identified barriers and what progress has been reported; and (3) how DHS oversees and supports its components in identifying and addressing barriers.

The federal government is faced with a workforce that is becoming increasingly eligible for retirement. GAO has reported that it is important for federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), to use available flexibilities to acquire, develop, motivate, and retain talented individuals who reflect all segments of society and our nation's diversity. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's (EEOC) Management Directive (MD) 715, provides that in order to attract and retain top talent, federal agencies are to identify barriers to equal employment opportunity (EEO) in the workplace, execute plans to eliminate barriers, and report annually to EEOC. In response to a request to determine the extent to which DHS has taken steps to identify and address barriers to EEO and how DHS oversees and supports component agencies in identifying and addressing barriers, GAO reviewed DHS's MD-715 reports and EEOC guidance on MD-715 and interviewed officials from DHS's civil rights and human capital offices responsible for EEO.
