Equal employment opportunity (EEO) and other anti-discrimination laws protect federal sector employees and job applicants from discrimination based on protected grounds such as race, color, national origin, religion, sex and sexual orientation, pregnancy, age, mental and physical disability, genetic information, status as a parent, marital status, or political affiliation. This course teaches managers and supervisors working in federal government agencies to make employment decisions that comply with anti-discrimination laws, promote respect and fairness, and, in turn, prevent claims of discrimination and employer liability.
