The newest technology, most innovative management practices, and state-of-the-art office buildings are of no value without the talent, commitment, and contribution of a quality workforce. At DCAA, we do our best to provide a working environment that is inclusive, enriching and encouraging to all employees. This spirit is visible in our work processes and benefits, making DCAA the employer of choice for a diverse and dedicated workforce.

At DCAA we do not just talk teamwork - we practice it. Across the organization, our Participative Work Teams reinforce an environment of trust and help us more effectively and efficiently accomplish our mission. These work teams allow every voice to be heard, from entry-level auditors to senior managers, and enable us to maximize the unique and diverse skills and perspectives of each employee.

With our business-casual dress code, flexible work hours, and state-of-the-art computer technology, we strive to make the quality of your work life as satisfying as possible. We know that employees are challenged as never before to balance work and personal responsibilities. DCAA continually addresses these challenges by utilizing Federal personnel flexibilities and establishing programs that help our employees meet their work and personal obligations. In addition to a comprehensive benefits package and extensive opportunities for training and development, DCAA is proud to offer an ever-expanding network of employee programs including:

Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

From time to time, each of us is faced with personal problems - many of which can be solved with professional assistance. DCAA employees can get this assistance through the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), a free, confidential counseling and referral service. Meeting with you privately and confidentially, an EAP counselor will help you assess the problem and work with you to find a solution - in most cases through either short-term counseling or referral to an appropriate and affordable resource. Emotional issues, family and marital problems, substance abuse, or financial concerns - EAP counselors are equipped to handle your requests for assistance.

Transit Subsidies

DCAA provides a fringe benefit for employees who use public transportation for commuting to and from work. If you elect to use public transportation to get to work, you are eligible to receive partial reimbursement for your commuting expenses. Qualifying transit services include public bus, subway, ferry, and rail services; commuter buses, and registered vanpools, used on a regular and continuing basis.

Health and Wellness

At DCAA we believe that a healthy employee is a happier, more productive employee. From providing on-site fitness centers, to reimbursement for membership in off-site facilities, we actively support employee health and wellness. DCAA encourages its employees to achieve and maintain a high level of fitness by sponsoring a variety of programs and events, including those on smoking cessation, weight management, and mental health, as well as mobile mammography and wellness evaluations.

Telework

DCAA participates in the governmentwide Telework program - which provides the opportunity for employees in eligible positions to perform their duties at an alternate worksite, such as home or a satellite work center. Most positions in DCAA are eligible for telework on either a regular or ad-hoc basis. In addition to reducing automobile-created air pollution and traffic congestion, telework affords an excellent way to accommodate any short-term or long-term health problems you may have, and it offers the potential for increased productivity by eliminating interruptions during the workday.
