Workforce Analysis Team
The mission of the Workforce Analysis team is to establish strategies and
guidance for achieving diversity Department-wide. Through the use of
quantitative and qualitative analysis, the Workforce Analysis team conducts
Barrier Analysis of the VA workforce.
Barrier Analysis consists of three steps; Workforce Analysis, Root Cause
Analysis, and Solution Development.
Workforce Analysis consists of determining the degree of under-representation of
each group in an employer’s workforce. Under-representation occurs where
internal representation is less than external representation (the Relevant
Civilian Labor Force).
Root Cause Analysis is the process of determining why the triggers (determined
from the workforce analysis step) are occurring.
The Solution Development process consists of determining if there is a business
necessity for the causes of the cause of the triggers. If no necessity, design
then implement a plan to remove those barriers causing the triggers. This step
requires close coordination with the Outreach and Retention team.
This Team is also responsible for the Department's annual affirmative employment
plan and report which is reported to EEOC.
