The EEOC, now under the leadership of Chair Andrea Lucas and with a full quorum for the first time in years, is signaling shifts in enforcement priorities that could have significant implications for employers.
What Employers Should Know:
- New Leadership: Chair Lucas has emphasized a commitment to "upholding merit-based, colorblind equality" in workplace policies.
- Key Priorities: Among the EEOC's key priorities are protecting pregnant workers, addressing religious bias, and scrutinizing diversity, equity, and inclusion programs for potential reverse discrimination.
- Religious Focus: The EEOC is expected to issue new guidance on religious discrimination and accommodations.
In this episode of Employment Law This Week®, Epstein Becker Green attorney James D. Mackinson discusses the latest updates from the EEOC and what they mean for employers.
