Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is a United States federal agency that is responsible for enforcing laws against workplace discrimination and workplace harassment. The EEOC investigates complaints of discrimination based on factors such as race, gender, age, religion, pregnancy, and disability. It also educates employers and employees about their rights and obligations under these laws. The EEOC has the authority to file lawsuits against employers who engage in discriminatory practices and seeks to obtain relief for victims of discrimination. Its goal is to ensure that workplaces are free from discrimination and harassment of any kind. The EEOC also collects workforce data from employers to track trends in employment discrimination and promote diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
