In addition, CIA is required by Presidential Executive Orders and internal CIA policies not to engage in discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and status as a parent. A federal employee, former employee or job applicant who believes they were discriminated against based on statutory covered bases has the right to file a complaint with the Agency's office responsible for its EEO programs. Complaints of alleged violations of Presidential Executive Orders will be processed in accordance with the Agency's Harassment Policy.</p> <p><b>WHO WE ARE:</b></p> <p>The Office of Equal Employment Opportunity (OEEO) has two primary roles in the Agency: ensure that every employee has a workplace free of discrimination and harassment; and, providing reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities.</p> <p>OEEO serves as an Agency resource for questions about and actions on behalf of the Director of Central Intelligence Agency's <a class="internal-link" title="Zero Tolerance" href="/web/20150905060227/https://www.cia.gov/offices-of-cia/equal-employment-opportunity/zero-tolerance.html">Zero Tolerance Policy </a>against harassment. When harassment occurs, it affects the Agency's most valuable resource—its people.</p> <p>Zero Tolerance is demonstrated when management responds to harassing behaviors and ensures that it stops.</p> <p> </p> <p><b>WHAT WE DO:</b></p> <p><b><i>Counseling and Investigations Staff (CIS)</i></b><br>CIS provides counseling and facilitates the Agency's EEO complaint process according to Federal regulations for applicants, as well as current and former employees. CIS is the only Agency component authorized to process EEO complaints with the goal of resolving EEO issues through continued outreach, unbiased expert counseling, and neutral fact-finding. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission mandates the requirements and timelines for EEO complaints and provides guidelines for conducting investigations - which CIS follows. CIS is responsible for ensuring the Agency's Zero Tolerance policy against harassment and discrimination is enforced.</p> <p><b><i><br>Reasonable Accommodations Staff (RAS)</i></b><br>RAS provides reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act. Our goal is to provide equal access for employees in a barrier-free environment regardless of limitations.</p> </div> <div class="documentByLine"> <br><div> </div> <div> Posted: Apr 05, 2007 12:22 PM<br></div> <div> Last Updated: Jan 30, 2014 07:23 AM<br></div> <br></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article></div> <aside class="content-box-2"><section class="social-box narrow"><h3 class="section-title">CONNECT WITH CIA</h3> <div class="tabs narrow"> <h4><img src="/web/20150905060227im_/https://www.cia.gov/portlet_content/images/socialicon22twitter.gif/image.gif" title="CIA on Twitter" alt="Twitter"></h4> <div class="tabbody"> <div class="holder-box"> <span class="heading">Twitter Feed</span> <a class="twitter-timeline" data-dnt="true" width="235" height="322" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905060227/https://twitter.com/CIA" data-widget-id="497085799548993536">Tweets by @CIA</a> <script> setTimeout(function () { !function (d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0], p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ?
