SPECIAL EMPHASIS PROGRAMS
The primary objectives of the Special Emphasis Program is to
enhance the Equal Employment Opportunity Program as it
relates to federal personnel policies, practices, and equal
employment opportunity. The primary objectives of the Special
Emphasis Program are:

recruitment, hiring, promotions, career development, reasonable
accommodation and retention affecting the full representation of targeted
groups (i.e. minorities, women and individuals with disabilities).
 Compiling, developing, and disseminating information and documents for
managers, supervisors, and employees to provide knowledge and sensitivity
in all facts or issues of accessibility and reasonable accommodation of
individuals with disabilities.
 Developing and conducting programs such as training courses,
workshops, job fairs, conferences, and commemorative observances to
provide awareness, sensitivity and understanding of the special issues
affecting employment of the protected groups

MEASURING PROGRESS
•
•
•
•
BLUF: One “Employee” at a time
• Knowing your workforce
• Does MD-715 data reflect your information?
• Look at your Agency Diversity – EEO – Metrics Plans
Affinity Group Membership vs Workforce Population
• Need to have “majority” consensus - Need to “motivate” AAPI workforce
• Check with your Human Resource or Human Capital department
Specific Measures To Track:
• Number of AAPI in your workforce
• Number of affinity group members
• Number of SEPM Events (meetings, social events, etc)
• Number of SEPM Articles and Publication
• Number of AAPI are promoted or not promoted
The use of Benchmarks:
• MD-715 – Start with your overall workforce representation
• “Drill Down” to your specific groups
