you may choose to speak to your Field Manager

We ask all employees to be alert to indication

laws protect minorities, women, disabled individuals,
older workers and veterans. CDA Inc. urges all

Diversity
CDA Inc. believes that fostering diversity within
the workplace contributes to the success of the
Company. In an increasingly diverse national and
global marketplace, it is essential to be positively
attuned to the diversity of our employees and
our clients. Understanding diversity within the
workplace translates to a more effective and productive
workplace.
The inclusion of all employees creates an atmosphere
that benefits from the talents and capabilities
of a diverse workforce. Inclusion through recruiting,
hiring, developing, training and promoting employees
of all races, ethnic groups, religions, ages,
the qualified able and disabled, and men and women
is essential to the success of the Company.
Valuing diversity means acknowledging, respecting,
appreciating and utilizing the differences and
similarities among people with different cultures
and backgrounds to create a productive work environment.
It directs the contributions of individuals toward
the accomplishment of the Company's goals. Through
diversity we gain different points of view as
well as a variety of approaches toward business
decisions and problem solving.
Prohibited Discrimination
The most common forms of discrimination are based
on prejudices and misperceptions about individuals
because of their identification with a group,
or any immutable characteristics they may have.
Misperceptions regarding workplace abilities and
qualifications or the disabled, members of various
minority groups, and people of different ages
and genders have caused the enactment of comprehensive
rules of law, which CDA Inc. fully supports. To
make employment decisions based in any part, on
an individual's immutable characteristics (e.g.,
race, gender, disability, etc.), which are protected,
is therefore prohibited by law and by Company
policy. Civil Rights Laws and CDA Inc. Policy
also prohibit Retaliation against individuals
who complain of discrimination as to themselves
or on behalf of others.
