MANAGEMENT DIRECTIVE 715 (MD-715) Reports

 

Background

The Management Directive 715 (MD-715) was issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on October 1, 2003. The MD-715 contains policy guidelines and standards for establishing and maintaining effective affirmative employment programs. It requires agencies to take appropriate steps to ensure that policies, practices, and procedures are conducted in a discrimination free manner for employees and applicants.

The MD-715 calls for periodic agency self-assessments and the identification and elimination of barriers that prevent equal employment opportunities in the workplace. Additionally, the MD-715 requires DOI to work toward meeting the six essential elements of a model EEO program:

  • Demonstrated Commitment from Agency Leadership
  • Integration of EEO into the Agency's Strategic Mission
  • Management and Program Accountability
  • Proactive Prevention of Unlawful Discrimination
  • Efficiency
  • Responsiveness and Legal Compliance

This report and plan show how well DOI’s programs and planned activities have encouraged and increased equity, diversity, and inclusion, and have prevented discrimination in the areas of recruitment, hiring, promotion, training, and retention of members of a particular race, ethnic, or religious background, gender, or for individuals with disabilities.
