Office of Equal Opportunity

 

The Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) provides leadership, direction and guidance in carrying out the RRB’s equal opportunity and civil rights responsibilities. OEO administers the agency wide equal employment opportunity (EEO) program by initiating policy, implementing and enforcing a variety of Federal laws, executive orders and regulations that relate to EEO. This office is also responsible for providing oversight for the affirmative employment, diversity and discrimination complaint programs.

The mission of OEO is to:

  • Ensure that the RRB is in compliance with equal employment opportunity laws and regulations;

  • Identify and eliminate discriminatory practices and policies; and
