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. - Visit our site for this week's Other Highlights and links: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw413 Download our Wage & Hour Guide for Employers app: https://www.ebglaw.com/wage-hour-guide-for-employers-app. Subscribe to #WorkforceWednesday: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw-subscribe Visit http://www.EmploymentLawThisWeek.com - Epstein Becker Green is a national law firm that focuses its resources on health care, life sciences, and workforce management solutions, coupled with powerful litigation strategies.
