What is EEO-1?
The EEO-1 (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission-1) is a reporting requirement in the United States that mandates certain employers to submit annual reports containing information about their workforce’s demographic composition. This requirement is administered by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), a federal agency responsible for enforcing civil rights laws related to employment.
The primary purpose of the EEO-1 report is to collect data on the race, ethnicity, gender, and job categories of employees within an organization. This information helps the EEOC and other government agencies monitor and enforce compliance with equal employment opportunity laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It also allows organizations, government agencies, and researchers to analyze employment patterns and identify potential discrimination or disparities in the workplace.
The EEO-1 report is an important tool for promoting workplace diversity, equal employment opportunities, and fair employment practices in the United States. It helps track progress in achieving workforce diversity goals and addressing employment discrimination.
