Equal Opportunity

CanGo, Inc. is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer and strongly encourages applications from females, minorities, persons with disabilities, disabled veterans, and Vietnam era veterans.

CanGo provides equal employment opportunities to all applicants and employees. In addition, we are committed to diversity in our workforce and taking affirmative action in employment for American Indians/Alaskan Natives, Asians/Pacific Islanders, Blacks, Hispanics, women, persons age 40 and over, persons with disabilities, disabled veterans, and Vietnam era veterans in areas where they are under-utilized.

Fair Employment Practices: The Hiring Process

Equal Opportunity guidelines have been established to aid supervisors in hiring procedures. The purpose of these guidelines is to provide all applicants and employees with similar opportunities and/or treatment regardless of protected group status. Equal Opportunity is implemented by:

  • Ensuring fair and neutral employment practices and decisions;
  • Providing reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities;
  • Preventing and eliminating discriminatory behavior or practices.

The purpose of affirmative action is to identify any potential barriers to equal employment opportunities for everyone. Affirmative action is implemented by actively recruiting from a diversified pool of qualified applicants.

Advertising an open position notifies the public that you are engaged in a genuine, open, competitive employment process. Hiring officials, search committees, and others involved in the employment process are responsible for ensuring that their procedures comply with equal opportunity and affirmative action in appropriate phases of the process.

Glossary:

Equal Opportunity applies to all aspects of employment, including recruitment, screening, selection, compensation, benefits, promotion, transfer, layoff, return from layoff, and training. EO protects persons from discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, or status as a disabled veteran or Vietnam era veteran. These are called protected groups.

Affirmative Action (AA) applies to the recruitment aspects of employment. Efforts are made to recruit from a diverse pool of applicants. Goals measure effectiveness and they are not set-asides or devices to achieve proportional representation or equal results. AA affects groups who have been discriminated against in the past: American Indians/Alaskan Natives, Asians/Pacific Islanders, Blacks, Hispanics, women, persons age 40 and over, persons with disabilities, disabled veterans, and Vietnam era veterans. These are called affected groups.
