It is the policy of DVS to provide an equal employment opportunity (EEO) and affirmative action to all applicants and employees during each phase of employment, including, but not limited to, recruiting, employment, placement, promotion, transfer, demotion reduction of workforce and termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation, selection for training, the use of all facilities, and participation in all services, and programs. We are committed to providing equal opportunities without regard to race, color, sex (including pregnancy), age, gender identity, creed, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, marital status, genetic information, disability, political affiliation, protected veteran status, or any other status protected by state or local law, and all employment decisions are based solely on valid job requirements. DVS promotes a work environment that supports, inspires, respects, and is inclusive to all individuals.

In accordance with the company’s equal employment opportunity policy, DVS will also take affirmative action as called for by applicable laws and Executive Orders to ensure that females, disabled veterans, minority group individuals, and qualified disabled persons are introduced within our workforce and are considered for promotional opportunities. We support an inclusive workplace where employees excel based on their own personal merit, qualifications, ability, job experience and performance.

DVS has a zero-tolerance policy for harassment, threats, coercion, discrimination, and intimidation. Employees may file a complaint or exercise any right protected by Executive Order 11246, Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, Section 4212 of the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, or the Veterans Employment Opportunities Act of 1998.
