  5. Like the discipline of diversity, the foundation of a successful EO program starts with leadership buy-in. Equal Opportunity: "Defending America's Freedom"

  6. Leadership at the Top • Visible • Others must see and hear the commitment • Visibility must be evident even when the “usual suspects” are not in the room. • Specific • What are the trends in EO complaints? • Metrics • Personal • Provide leadership with performance measures • Leaders message most effective when they share their own “personal EO story”. • Persistent • More constant message than just Observance speeches. • Intentional • “This is what I want to happen.” Equal Opportunity: "Defending America's Freedom"

  7. The Impact of EO on Mission Readiness • Core Values • Good order and discipline • Morale and QOL • EO climate = unit cohesion and mission readiness • EO climate promotes dignity and respect for all Equal Opportunity: "Defending America's Freedom"

  8. Command Climate Assessment Equal Opportunity: "Defending America's Freedom" • Required 90 days following a Change of Command and/or annually thereafter. • Triangulation Method - identifying areas of concern or issues related to command climate by finding areas of commonality in a minimum of three areas of the command assessment).

Focus Groups E. Other methods deemed appropriate by the commander

  9. CMEO + EOA = EO Team • The subject matter expert • A point of contact to ask questions about EO policy • A point of contact to ask questions about grievance and redress procedures • Listening to people and monitoring the EO climate • Protecting the rights of the accused and the victim • Communicating with the Commander Equal Opportunity: "Defending America's Freedom"
