The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has issued instructions to federal agencies on complying with its recently issued “management directive 715” which requires agencies to establish and maintain effective affirmative programs of equal employment opportunity. The instructions provide federal agencies with additional operational instructions on how to accomplish the requirements of the management directive, and emphasize what federal agencies should do to ensure that personnel actions are made free of discrimination.
