Question

Go to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission website and select one (1) case from the list. Then, assess the major federal provision that was violated. Recommend at least three (3) action steps to avoid making a similar violation as hiring manager.

Answer 1

I have taken the case "American Pride Waste Solutions Sued by EEOC For Sex Discrimination"

In this case, The waste collection company, violated federal law by discriminating against a qualified female candidate who applied for the job because of her sex. U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a lawsuit for the same as the woman's truck driver application was rejected by company in favor of comparatively less-qualified male applicants. This conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Federal law clearly requires employers to give equal opportunity to all applicants for positions, regardless of the applicant's sex.

Action steps to avoid making a similar violation as hiring manager:

• Ignoring gender stereotypes, such as assuming that only a man can be the sole earner in the family. What if the woman have responsibilities on her shoulders to support her family.
• Putting efforts into hiring a diversified workforce
• Trying to understand gaps in female candidates resume like whether it was due to pregnancy etc
