Code of Conduct: Equal Employment Opportunity

Course Summary

Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) laws protect applicants and employees alike from discrimination surrounding protected characteristics.

This equal employment opportunity mini-training educates employees on those characteristics and how they can overlap, and offers best practice for cultivating a discrimination-free environment that’s safe and comfortable for all.

Why is this training important for workplaces?

Equal opportunity laws play a crucial role in promoting fairness, diversity, and inclusivity within the workplace. These laws prohibit discrimination based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, and national origin, ensuring that all individuals have an equal chance to succeed and advance based on merit and qualifications. By enforcing equal opportunity laws, organizations create environments where employees feel valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential, regardless of their background or identity. Moreover, embracing diversity and inclusion leads to a more engaged and innovative workforce, as different perspectives and experiences contribute to better decision-making, problem-solving, and creativity.
