Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO)

Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) refers to the principle that all individuals should have fair access to employment and advancement in the workplace, regardless of race, gender, age, religion, disability, or other protected characteristics. EEO laws prohibit discrimination and promote diversity, ensuring that hiring, promotions, and benefits are based on merit rather than personal traits. Organizations are responsible for creating inclusive environments that respect and value differences, helping to ensure everyone has equal chances to succeed in their careers.
