we

are

fully

committed to

~

providing

equal

opportunity

in

employment

for

all

persons;

to

prohibit

discrimination

in

information,

or

reprisal;

and

to

promote

the

full realization

of

equal

opportunity

through continuing

affirmation

efforts.

Every

employee

deserves

great

leadership

and

they must

be

treated

with

the

infinite worth,

dignity,

and

respect

they

deserve.

Our

core

values

of

Honor,

Courage,

and

Commitment

are

central

to

our

dedicated

service

to

this

Nation;

as

such,

we

must

demonstrate

the

same

to

our

Civilian

Marines

in

everything

we

do.

We

endorse

the

principles

of

Equal

Employment

Opportunity

(EEO)

and

expect

all

leaders

to

integrate

these

principles

in

all

personnel

actions.

Decisions

founded

on

prohibited

personnel

practices,

preferential

treatment

bias,

prejudice,

discrimination,

harassment

or

reprisal

will not

be

tolerated

in

this

command.

Equal

Employment

Opportunity

is

essential

to

good

order,

morale,

discipline

and

combat

readiness.

It

is

the

right

thing to

do,

and

we

can

afford nothing

less.

All

Federal

employees,

applicants

for

employment,

and

former

employees

have

the right

to

file

complaints

of

discrimination or unlawful

harassment

based

on race,

color,

sex,

religion, national origin,

age,

physical

or

mental disability, genetic

information,

or

reprisal.

In

order

to initiate

the

EEO

complaint

process,

aggrieved

persons

must

contact

an

EEO

counselor

or

official

within

their

command

and

initiate

pre-complaint

procedures.

the

use

of Alternative

Dispute

Resolution

(ADR)

and

MCO

the

informal

and

formal complaint

processes.

When

complaints

arise,

we

must

work together to

resolve

them swiftly,

quickly

and

effectively

starting

at

the

lowest

level

possible.

Management

officials

will

initiate

prompt, thorough,

and

impartial

inquiries

of

all

allegations

upon

knowledge

or

notification.

If

management

finds

that

discrimination,

sexual,

or

unlawful harassment

and/or

reprisal

has

occurred,

they will

take

immediate

action

to

stop

and

eradicate

any

discriminatory,

harassing,

or

retaliatory

actions

and

report

accordingly.

The

goal

is

personal

and

professional excellence

in

all

that

we

do

—

and

that

includes

the

Equal

Employment

Opportunity

sphere.
