Employers are legally obligated to establish and maintain workplaces free from all forms of discrimination. This responsibility stems from various federal laws, primarily enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). These laws are in place to guarantee fair treatment for all job applicants and employees throughout the talent lifecycle
Proactively promoting non-discrimination in your organization allows you to avoid increased exposure to legal challenges, including discrimination lawsuits, which can result in fines, penalties, and back pay awards. It can also foster better merit-based outcomes and broaden inclusion, which can lead to enhanced creativity, better decision-making, and improved employee morale.
