The Department of Defense's Diversity Management Operations Center (DMOC) seeks contractor support to enhance the effectiveness of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) through the development of guidance and training. This initiative is part of a larger mission to prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) across the DoD, as outlined by various mandates from the Secretary of Defense and related executive orders. The contractor will conduct an ERG Impact Study, analyze current ERG programs, provide training sessions for leadership, and create reference materials while ensuring best practices align with industry standards. Key deliverables include comprehensive training programs, benchmarking studies, and reports documenting progress and recommendations. The contractor is expected to provide training for at least 35 ERG leaders annually, along with access to a national ERG summit. Security requirements mandate that all contractor personnel undergo appropriate background checks and comply with specific federal regulations. Overall, this collaborative effort aims to standardize ERG practices, enhance organizational culture, and improve representation within the DoD workforce.
