Employers, here is an important read regarding the EEOC and how to ensure your business is in compliance with recent updates.
Employers, here is an important update from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The EEOC has released final guidance on workplace harassment, providing employers with a comprehensive resource on legal standards and liability under federal employment discrimination laws. https://lnkd.in/evqGTxrM SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM: Between fiscal years 2016 and 2023, more than a third of all discrimination charges received by the EEOC included an allegation of harassment. Harassment has been alleged in over half of federal sector equal employment opportunity complaints since fiscal year 2018 WHAT HAS CHANGED: The guidance reflects notable changes in the law, including the Supreme Court's decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, which held that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination in employment based on sexual orientation and gender identity, and addresses emerging issues such as online harassment. NEXT STEPS: For a detailed breakdown of the changes and how to ensure compliance with these updates, feel free to reach out to us anytime. #WorkplaceHarassment #EEOC #HRCompliance #WorkplaceSafety #RespectfulWorkplace #EmployeeWellbeing

Every few years, the EEOC lays out a road map of its enforcement priorities. There's a lot in here, but I'd recommend businesses make sure they are squared away on pay equity, policies and procedures for workplace investigations (e.g. investigating and resolving complaints of sexual harassment), and hiring practices. On that last point: as long as AI is a hot-button issue (so for the foreseeable future), there will be vendors who promise it will magically solve your recruitment and hiring problems. Could it? Maybe. Could it also inadvertently expose you to a disparate impact discrimination lawsuit? Almost certainly. https://lnkd.in/gc4REQPX
