Summary

Employees have begun filing EEOC complaints arising from what employers did (and didn’t) do at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and how they're handling reopening.

There’s been a significant uptick in complaints related to the ADA , national origin discrimination, age discrimination, and more. Plus, the EEOC is giving people more time to file complaints.

That means it’s critical to ensure that your organization is equipped to handle an EEOC investigation.

If you already have an internal plan on how to handle EEOC complaints, it's time to update it.

And if you don’t have a plan, you need to develop one before it’s too late.

This workshop is the perfect place to start.

We’ll provide a detailed overview of the EEOC complaint process and teach you exactly how to respond if a complaint is filed against your organization.

You’ll learn what to expect if you find yourself with an EEOC complaint, including:

How to identify exactly what’s being charged
How long EEOC investigations typically take
Who an EEOC investigator may question without the employer present
How a complaint filed on the state level can end up with the EEOC (and vice versa!)
And more!
