Equal Employment Opportunity

The Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) is a principle that ensures equal opportunity to attain or maintain employment in a company or institution. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission was established in 1964 to protect employees from discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The law was later expanded to include protection from discrimination based on sexual orientation or transgender status in 2020. The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws that prohibit employment discrimination and requires companies with 15 or more employees to comply.learn more on wikipedia
