A comprehensive anti-harassment policy addresses all EEO
bases.
DNF:
The agency did not file a FY 2006 MD-715 report with EEOC.
Federal Human Capital Survey:
The Federal Human Capital Survey is a tool that measures
employees' perceptions of whether, and to what extent, conditions
characterizing successful organizations are present in their
agencies. The survey was first conducted in 2002, which set a
baseline for ongoing assessment in the federal
government. The survey was conducted again in 2004
and 2006. The goals of the survey include (1) providing general
indicators of how well the federal government is running its
human resources management systems; (2) serving as a tool for OPM
to assess individual agencies and their progress toward "green"
status on strategic management of human capital under the
President's Management Agenda; and (3) giving senior managers
critical information to answer the question of 'what can I do to
make my agency work better'.
NA:
Not applicable.
NRF:
Not required to file.
Occ. CLF:
The U.S. Census Bureau defines the Civilian Labor Force (CLF) as
all non-institutionalized civilians 16 and older who are either
working or looking for work. The 2000 Census
includes over 31,000 occupation titles based upon how individuals
reported their type of work. The occupational CLF
provides a participation rate for each EEO group's employment in
particular occupations.
Odds Ratio:
Odds ratio is a method of comparing whether the probability of a
certain event is the same for two groups. Each EEO
group is compared to the rest of the agency workforce and the
event measured is promotion to GS-15 or SES. An odds
ratio of 1 implies that a promotion is equally
likely. An odds ratio greater than 1 implies that a
member of the EEO group is more likely to be promoted than an
employee in the rest of the
workforce. An odds ratio
less than 1 implies that a member of the EEO group is less likely
to be promoted than an employee in the rest of the
workforce. Odds ratio analysis is shown only for
race, gender, and ethnicity. Promotion analysis for
people with targeted disabilities was deemed inappropriate given
the dearth of such persons in the federal workforce.
Odds Ratio Formulas:
EEO Group SES x (Total 15 - EEO Group 15)
(Total SES - EEO Group SES) x EEO Group 15
EEO Group SES x (Total 15&14 - EEO Group 15&14)
(Total SES - EEO Group SES) x EEO Group 15&14
EEO Group 15 x (Total 14 - EEO Group 14)
(Total 15 - EEO Group 15) x EEO Group 14
Odds Ratio Scoring:
Odds > means the ratio is above 1
Odds < means the ratio is below 1
Odds = means the ratio is 1
Partic. Rate:
Participation Rate is the percentage of the total workforce
represented by the particular group.
Raw Score for Indicators Evaluating Average Days in
the EEO Program Activities:
The raw score for indicators evaluating the average days to
submit complaint files at the hearing and appellate stages is
calculated as follows: [100 minus {(the average days
for EEOC to receive the agency's complaint files minus (the
regulatory required time frame plus five days for mailing))
multiplied by two}]. For example, if EEOC received
the complaint files from an agency in an average of 47 days at
the appellate stage, which is after the 30 day time frame, the
raw score would be 76 [100 minus {(47 minus (30 plus 5))
multiplied by 2}].
Resolution Rate:
Resolution rate is the percentage of EEO counselings that are
resolved by either settlement or withdrawal from the EEO process
during the pre-complaint stage.
Weighted Score of the EEO Program Activities
Indicators:
Each of the MD-715 six essential elements is weighted equally at
200 total points per element, resulting in a maximum weighted
score of 1200 points. Because some of the elements
have a raw score that exceeds 200 points, the raw score is
converted to a weighted score by using the following
formula: (agency's raw score for that element
multiplied by 200) divided by the maximum raw score for that
element. For example, if the agency has a raw score
of 345 in the Efficiency element out of a maximum raw score of
500, the weighted score would be 138 [(345 multiplied by 200)
divided by 500].
TWF:
The total workforce is a snapshot of the agency's employees on
Sept 30, 2006, as reported by the agency in its MD-715 workforce
data table A-1.
