Essentials of EEO Training

This program currently has no scheduled dates. Find out more about how this program can be offered in-house at your organization.

The cornerstone of effective EEO compliance is ensuring that management and employees understand relevant EEO laws, the organization's EEO mission and expectations, as well as their roles and responsibilities in meeting these goals. Conveying this understanding is more that communicating through the organization's policy handbook, bulletin boards, or new employee orientation - it involves holding executive briefings and management/employee training sessions.
