Description

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.
