Guidance-Toolkits

NIH is committed to promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion. One way that EDI supports this commitment is by providing guidance to managers and employees on equal employment opportunity (EEO) rights and responsibilities to ensure a diverse and inclusive workplace free from unlawful discrimination and harassment. At NIH we understand that all of our NIH employees want to be treated equitably.

4 Reasons to Uphold EEO Principles:

  1. It is the law
  2. It is economically wise
  3. It is morally/ethically important
  4. It fosters a diverse and inclusive NIH workplace

A lack of information can result in costly complaints, loss of productivity, and poor morale.  Remember that every employee wants to be given a fair chance to be successful at work.  Our Toolkits will help you navigate through EEO.
