STERLING, Virginia - Last week, employees from BSEE and its sister agency the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) participated in training sessions offered by the Diversity Change Agent (DCA) team to increase cultural awareness, knowledge, and skills. Topics of the workshops included attitude, inclusion, change management, overcoming stereotypes, and conflict management.
The training sessions, which were led by guests from the U.S. Geological Survey, Department of Justice, Office of Personnel Management, and Department of the Treasury, are part of the ongoing BOEM/BSEE Diversity Program and reflect our continued dedication to the Dignity and Respect Campaign and Ouch! Campaign.
BSEE is an equal opportunity employer committed to recruiting, retaining and developing a diverse workforce. Last year BSEE Deputy Director Margaret Schneider and the DCA program were recognized at the Department of the Interior (DOI) Multi-Cultural Day for their work with the Dignity and Respect Campaign. BSEE and BOEM were the first DOI bureaus to implement the Campaign. There are DCAs working at each of our regional offices and our headquarters who help to arrange classes and other events promoting diversity.
