If you are a supervisor, manager, HR professional or business owner, you – and the interests of your organization and its employees – will be well-served by developing a solid knowledge base with regards to key Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) compliance considerations.

You’re off to a great start if you know – and follow – your company’s EEO & harassment prevention policies (assuming they are sound and current), but that is just the ‘basics’ of what you really need to know.
