Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Annual Report Fiscal Year 2023
In June 2020, Inspector General Tammy Hull, on behalf of herself and the executive leadership team (ELT), committed to listening, learning, and acting to ensure an inclusive workplace. Since then, we have worked to develop and implement a DE&I structure and strategic vision for the OIG, where DE&I informs and infuses all our work and personal interactions.
In FY 2023, we celebrated the third year of our employee-led Inclusion, Diversity and Equity Awareness (IDEA) Council, which continues to lead and assist our efforts on expanding our agency’s access to training on DE&I topics, access to meaningful diversity data, and emphasizing the creation and maintenance of an inclusive workplace culture through more Affinity Groups (an officially chartered group of OIG personnel organized around a common experience or identity) and other opportunities to learn and grow. While we are proud of the progress we have made, our DE&I efforts will never fully be done.
Our DE&I goals and strategy will continue to evolve. Our agency is committed to this long journey, and we look forward to seeing our continued progress over time.
