    Office of Equal Opportunity Programs

    ​ABOUT THE OFFICE OF EQUAL OPPORTUNITY PROGRAMS​

    The Office of Equal Opportunity Programs (OEOP) strives to ensure a non-discriminatory workplace for MDH employees and job applicants as well as the non-discriminatory delivery of services, benefits, and activities provided by or funded by MDH, per federal and state laws, regulations, and guidelines pertaining to equal opportunity compliance.

    FAIR PRACTICES OFFICE (FPO)

    The Governor's Executive Order on Fair Employment Practices mandates the appointment of a Fair Practices Officer for the appropriate implementation of an Equal Employment Opportunity Program. The Fair Practices Officer oversees, reviews, evaluates, and makes recommendations on equal opportunity policies and practices within the workplace, whether it is discrimination based or practices that are alleged to be arbitrary and unfair. ​


    EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY (EEO)​

    EEO works to ensure a non-discriminatory workplace by addressing concerns and complaints regarding Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) from MDH employees and job applicants. OEOP investigates and responds to charges of discrimination in the workplace, provides assistance to all employees as it relates to EEO, provides related training, works closely with external agencies and monitors employment transactions to ensure a fair and equitable workplace.
