The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) protects employees from workplace discrimination and has authority to investigate, bring charges, conduct workplace audits and impose penalties. It also gives employers guidance and tools to keep discrimination out of the workplace.
This 90-minute EEOC audit preparation webinar explains how the EEOC sets enforcement initiatives every five years, known as the Strategic Enforcement Priorities (SEP), in line with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and publishes them online. It also covers the EEO Digest, a quarterly publication from the Office of Federal Operations (OFO) that summarizes EEOC decisions and federal court cases of interest.
You'll see how these resources help employers anticipate the next enforcement trend, how the same resources help employees file complaints, and what the audit process looks like.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Knowing where the EEOC is focusing lets you prepare before an investigation or audit begins. This session shows how to use the agency's own published resources to reduce risk, how an internal audit of pay practices can build trust with employees, and what to expect if the EEOC or OFCCP audits you.
It suits HR and compliance professionals, employers and business owners, executives, managers and supervisors, and anyone who handles employee relations issues.
