EEOC/Understanding Title VII

Few aspects of the law have had the sweeping impact on our society and the workplace as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Our workplace is becoming increasingly diverse in culture, age, gender and even the division of labor such as blue collar versus white collar, field versus staff. The laws that govern workplace diversity are best understood by developing the context of how and w hy they are applied to companies and their employees.

It is not enough to know the letter of the law; employees must understand what the law was intended to protect. It is management's job to ensure that this is understood and practiced. In this course you will learn to create an environment of compliance that increases productivity, maximizes employee retention and strengthens working relationships for your company.

Learning objectives
Develop a deeper understanding of compliance and how it relates to:

• The role of diversity of the workplace and its role in the profitability of a company
• Diversity from a compliance perspective
• Protected groups
• Recruiting and Selection
• The need for consistency
• The judicial and regulatory process
