Mediation News

Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO)

To file a complaint, you must contact an EEO Counselor within 45 days of the alleged discriminatory action (or within 45 days of the date on which you become aware of the discrimination). Counselors are trained to work with management and employees in an effort to resolve the compliant informally. During EEO counseling, you have the right to request that your name remain confidential.

If the Counselor is unable to resolve the complaint, you will be provided with a written statement of your rights, including the right to file a formal complaint of discrimination. At any time during the EEO process, you will have the right to request Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). The most common form of ADR is mediation, during which the two parties come together in an effort to reach a mutually-satisfactory resolution of the complaint, with the assistance of a trained Mediator.

If you would like to contact an EEO Counselor, or if you have any questions regarding the EEO process or Alternate Dispute Resolution, please contact the Office of Civil Rights and Diversity at (202)586-2218.

	Did You Know?
	Mediation is a process that involves a mediator Neutral third party who helps the disputing parties achieve a resolution that satisfies both of them. The mediator's primary function is to create constructive communication between parties and provide a forum where disputants can create a mutually satisfactory agreement. Mediators do not impose decisions; instead, they help people craft solutions that will work for them.
