The NIOSH Vision for Diversity |
Diversity acknowledges, appreciates, and respects the many differences
we recognize in each other. Cultural, racial, and ethnic differences are
well understood examples of diversity, as are language, age, and gender.
Less apparent examples are educational background, job experience, sexual
orientation and economic roots. The NIOSH vision for diversity is to
enhance the organization's ability to attract, recruit, hire, mentor,
develop, retain, and serve a diverse population by fostering an inclusive
environment that embraces, values and respects all individuals. By
increasing diversity in its workforce, and by recognizing and using those
various skills, NIOSH will better pursue and accomplish its mission of
"Delivering on the Nation's promise: safety and health at work for all
people through research and prevention." NIOSH is committed to a workplace
where all people are respected as individuals and are valued for their
contributions to accomplishing its mission. We will foster an inclusive,
supportive, open, challenging, and innovative work environment to enable
employees to be positive, creative, and reach their full potential.
