Diversity management at DOT is defined as creating and maintaining a work environment that:
- Provides opportunity for all employees to maximize their potential and fully contribute to accomplishing the organization's mission.
- Does not advantage or disadvantage any group and it ensures all team members treat each other with dignity and respect.
Diversity management is a separate and distinct initiative that coordinates and enhances other programs that impact employment to create and maintain a positive work environment such as those related to hiring, equal opportunity, and work and family life.
Diversity management at DOT will ensure a work environment where every employee's unique talents and perspectives are valued and used to further DOT's mission. This is both a matter of principle and a strategic business choice, because we simply cannot meet the challenges before us if we overlook or under utilize any population group. Supervisors and managers in particular have a critical role to play as we develop and implement the strategies to promote and leverage diversity in our day-to-day business decisions.
DOT welcomes everyone with the talents, desires and determination to take on the toughest challenges and dream the biggest dreams. Diversity is about bringing out the best in each of us, so that we can achieve great things together. It's about finding a way to support the infinite characteristics that make each of us unique individuals with important contributions to make.
