Equal Employment Opportunities

Equal Employment Opportunities (EEO) refers to the policies and practices aimed at ensuring that all individuals have an equal chance for employment, promotions, and benefits, regardless of factors such as race, gender, age, disability, or religion. EEO laws prohibit discrimination in hiring and workplace practices, promoting a fair and inclusive environment. This means employers are required to treat all job applicants and employees equally and to make decisions based on merit and qualifications rather than personal characteristics. Ultimately, EEO seeks to create a diverse workforce that reflects the society in which it operates.
