WORKPLACE COMPLIANCE

Why It Matters

In FY 2021, there were over 60,000 charges filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)*. Training managers on identifying federal discrimination laws and practices is crucial for workplace compliance because they play a key role in enforcing policies, mitigating risks, and fostering an inclusive environment. By understanding these laws, managers can effectively recognize and address discriminatory behaviors, thereby reducing legal liabilities, promoting employee morale, and safeguarding the organization's reputation.

Key Considerations

Existing Knowledge

Learners have not been required to participate in any workplace compliance training about discrimination. However, since the target audience consists of non-HR supervisors, the training intervention focuses on providing a general overview of necessary knowledge.

Available Technology

Without an existing organization-wide learning management system (LMS) to host eLearning content, and inconsistent funding to maintain technology platforms, a presentation slide deck for an instructor-led training (ILT) is the preferred delivery method for this content.

Time-Constraints

Due to difficulty scheduling recurring meetings with the target audience, the full training consists of four modules, to be covered over one business day. A job aid summarizing high-level content and key takeaways is provided as a supplement to the training.

Learner Preferences

The target audience for the training program prefer to engage in learning through verbal discussion. In order to practice applying newly acquired knowledge and engage with colleagues, learners are prompted to complete a scenario-based activity by engaging in a group discussion
