Federal Agencies to Develop a Strategic Plan to Insure a Diverse and Inclusive Workforce

On August 18, 2011, President Obama issued an  Executive Order directing  each federal agency to develop a strategic plan for diversity and inclusion in the federal workforce.  Focus is to be placed on recruiting, retaining, promoting, developing and training a diverse and inclusive workforce.

 Higher Education Institutions, non-profit agencies and private industry are also developing plans to insure a workplace that is inclusive.  Take a look at the President’s Executive Order and let us know  how your agency or institution  insures a diverse and inclusive workplace.  What are the key components of your plan?
