Best Practices

The Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) enforces the nondiscrimination and affirmative action requirements that apply to federal contractors and subcontractors. The agency recognizes outstanding federal corporate practices through its annual Exemplary Voluntary Efforts (EVE) and Secretary of Labor’s Opportunity Awards ceremony. The OFCCP gives awards to exemplary federal contractors that have multi-faceted and innovative programs that enhance employment opportunities for all employees. Award winning programs generally embrace the following best practices:
  • Institutional leadership and demonstrated commitment to equal employment opportunity and affirmative action, that are communicated throughout the organization;
  • Successful analysis and self-monitoring of the contractor workforce to identify and address possible discrimination and ensure compliance with federal equal opportunity requirements;
  • Good faith efforts to remove identified barriers and expand employment opportunity via accountability and measurable results from the successful good faith efforts.
A Best Practice can either directly or indirectly affect diversity and equal opportunity at Duke University. To qualify for a best practice, the program or initiative needs to meet at least one of the practices mentioned above. If you know of a program or initiative at Duke that qualifies for a best practice, please contact the Office for Institutional Equity.
