Mission success requires every employee to be a valued, motivated, and highly functioning team member. ODEO plays a critical role in making that happen.
We do so by helping NASA to eliminate EEO barriers and workplace conflicts that can diminish trust, impair teamwork, compromise safety and ultimately undermine excellence.
The NASA Commitment to Diversity and Equal Opportunity NASA provides an environment that honors excellence, teamwork, fairness, and
equity. We strive to exemplify in all of our decision making the principle that
employees have the freedom to compete on a fair and level playing field.
-- Acting Administrator Christopher J. Scolese, NASA Policy Statement on Equal Employment Opportunity, March 31, 2009
To design the most effective systems, NASA must have a diversity of views,
ideas and perspectives. This requires taking into account all the possible sets
of training and experience that come from people of different backgrounds and
life experiences. It is the widest diversity of viewpoints and considerations
that go into making good technical solutions for NASA.
-- NASA Policy Statement on Diversity, March 20, 2006
ODEO's Organizational Goals
In supporting mission success, we partner with our Center EO Offices, Diversity Managers and key Offices across the Agency to achieve the following goals:
Goal 1. Advance NASA's efforts to be a model Agency for equal employment opportunity (EEO), including fostering NASA’s workforce diversity, eliminating EEO barriers and deficiencies, and addressing EEO concerns.
Goal 2. Engage the Agency in proactive equal opportunity (EO) and diversity-inclusion initiatives and programs to enhance workplace productivity and efficiency.
Goal 3. Advance EO in NASA-funded science, technology, engineering (STEM) and related programs in contributing to the Agency's STEM pipeline development.
