(4) FAPAC Workforce Diversity Federal Workers Survey: The FAPAC Workplace Diversity Challenge Team is examining the challenges facing Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPI) in recruitment and hiring into the Federal government. Please help FAPAC identify these challenges, and recommend ways to overcome them, by filling out their survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GGGP8NQ
FAPAC invites you to take the survey and forward the survey link to other Federal workers who can provide additional insight on the needs for effective and efficient recruiting efforts in the AAPI and NHPI communities. The survey will be open starting Wednesday, March 5, 2014 through Wednesday, March 12, 2014. The survey responses will be reported in aggregate; no individual responses will be reported.
The Federal Asian Pacific American Council (www.FAPAC.org), with participation from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, is sponsoring the FAPAC Challenge Team Program. The FAPAC Challenge Team Program is an innovative new project-oriented, experiential training-based program targeted at developing skills for emerging federal employee leaders while working to solve the dilemmas facing the federal government when addressing the needs of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) federal employees and communities. For information about FAPAC and the Challenge Team Program, please visit http://www.fapac.org/challengeteams/challenges. Additionally, if you have any questions or comments about the upcoming survey or the FAPAC Workplace Diversity project, please feel free to contact the FAPAC Workplace Diversity Challenge Team at: FAPACworkplacediversity2014@gmail.com.
Thank you for your time! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at dojpansia@yahoo.com or me at aditi.sehgal@atf.gov. Have a happy Monday!!!
