5. Establish support groups to assist employees who feel alienated [ (Gomez-Mejla, Balkin, & Cardy, 2010) ]. We already have a diverse set of employees. As our company continues to grow so will the diversity of our employees. Whether it’s real or perceived, we need to provide employees a safe place they can go to help air any concern before it escalates into something more serious. 6. Provide reasonable accommodations for typical family needs, such as day care and flexible work schedules [ (Gomez-Mejla, Balkin, & Cardy, 2010) ]. Our current and future employees will have diverse needs that will change over time. It’s in our company’s best interest to reasonably support the external needs of our employees so they feel included and can be successful at the job they do for our company. 7. Establish mentoring programs to assist fellow employees in their continuing corporate development [ (Gomez-Mejla, Balkin, & Cardy, 2010) ]. Finding, retaining, and maximizing the potential of our employees is just good business. Mentoring will help ensure each employee is able to maximize his/her personal and corporate potential. We should consider adding mentoring to our annual performance objectives.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) holds the responsibility of enforcing federal laws that make it illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or an employee based on a person’s race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity and sexual orientation, national origin, age (40 or older), disability and/or genetic information (U.S. EEOC, 2016a). The EEOC laws cover most employers with at least fifteen employees as well as labor unions and employment agencies (U.S. EEOC, 2016a). The EEOC has the ability to investigate charges of alleged discrimination against employees who are employed by organizations covered by the EEOC. The EEOC not only uses these investigations to protect alleged victims, they also use them as an education tool for organizations. The EEOC conducted an investigation based on racial discrimination in the EEOC v. Alliant Techsystems case, which was settled in 2012 when they paid the alleged victim in relief expenses.

The equal employment opportunity commission was formed on July 2, 1965. The United States EEOC is a federal agency that administers and enforces civil rights laws against works place discrimination. President John. F. Kennedy's Executive Order used equal opportunity for the first time in 1961 by instructing federal constructors to make sure that applicants are treated equally without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. When the equal employment opportunity was first created by the Civil Rights Act, it was only given limited power to punish the employers that did not adhere to this rule. That all changed in 1972 the congress gave the EEOC the authority to sue the employers. The way that employers are treated at work should

It prohibits discrimination in all employment practices. Title VII makes it unlawful to limit or classify employees in any way that deprives them of employment opportunities or hampers their career progression when that classification is based on their protected status” (SHRM). Title VII also established the EEOC Commission (EEOC) and applies to employers with 15 or more employees and most labor unions.
