The EEOC compiles workforce data from employers and federal contractors who meet certain thresholds. This data is used by the government to examine and review patterns and practices of workplace discrimination. The EEO-1 report is enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance.
All private employers and federal contractors meeting the eligibility requirements are mandated to submit and certify EEO-1 reports annually. This training will provide detailed instructions for submitting and certifying this report including the types of data requested and relevant deadlines.
