Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (US)
Treating people fairly and equally at work is not only the foundation for a thriving workplace, it’s a legal requirement. Everyone who makes human resource-related decisions – for example hiring managers, supervisors or HR professionals – must understand the role of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the laws it enforces. This short course looks at the EEOC and the federal protections it provides to certain groups or “protected classes” of workers.
This course will cover:
- The role of the EEOC
- Importance of anti-discrimination laws
- Which classes of employees are protected by federal law
- The laws enforced by the EEOC
- Refresher discrimination-prevention training
- How to make ethical employment decisions that comply with the law
