Equal Employment Opportunity Policy
PlanRVA strives to cultivate and maintain an inclusive culture among its staff members. We are committed to the principle of equal employment opportunity for all employees and to providing employees with a work environment that is free of discrimination and harassment. All employment decisions at PlanRVA are based on agency need, job requirements and individual qualifications, without regard to race, sex, color, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, veteran status, political affiliation, genetics, disability, or any other status protected by the laws or regulations applicable in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they have every job description qualifier. We are most interested in finding the best candidate and that person may come from a less traditional background. We may consider an equivalent combination of knowledge, skills, education, and experience to meet minimum qualifications. We encourage you to apply.
PlanRVA worked with 6 Wheels Consulting and Baskervill to design an office space that is inclusive and accessible beyond the minimum ADA compliance standards. Learn more about these efforts and the accessible office space PlanRVA provides to staff.
