Diversity and Inclusion Program

To reach our goal of “Building our Future Through our People,” NARA commits itself to attracting and retaining a diverse and inclusive workforce—one that mirrors the public that we serve.

We will recruit, select, develop, promote, and retain employees of differing viewpoints, backgrounds, experience, education, socioeconomic status, occupations, and geographic locations.

NARA is strongly committed to the principles of diversity and inclusion and embraces the diversity that our employees bring. We believe that this diversity inspires innovation, encourages respect, and promotes unlimited success. We further commit ourselves to a workplace where we welcome the views and perspectives of all employees and recognize and appreciate their talents, skills, and abilities.

It is NARA’s policy to develop and maintain a workplace that values these individual differences because the benefits derived from a diverse and inclusive workforce are unlimited. For that reason, we must strive to ensure that all of our employees receive the tools they need to expand the multidisciplinary knowledge, requisite skills, training, and development to accomplish our present and future mission objectives.

All executives, managers, supervisors, and employees should be role models who embrace acceptance, inclusion, and accountability. Each one of us bears the responsibility to ensure a diverse and inclusive workplace.

Together, all of us can play a part in making NARA an employer of choice, where all are welcome and treated with dignity and respect as part of our day to day work.
