Equal Employment Opportunity: USDA Could Strengthen Efforts to Address Workplace Discrimination Complaints

Excerpt:  “The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s civil rights office leads efforts to address workplace discrimination complaints for the department’s nearly 100,000 employees. On average, formal complaints filed in FY 2015-2023 were most frequently allegations of retaliation. Employees who complain about workplace discrimination are protected from retaliation under federal law. The department takes steps to resolve disputes, but the civil rights office hasn’t monitored this since its monitoring staff was eliminated in 2018. The office also doesn’t review civil rights training plans across the department.”
