Managing In An Inclusive Environment: Discrimination
We will be looking at the following major employment discrimination laws: the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act. We also will look at the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, Vocational Rehabilitation Act and Executive Order 11246.
Take some time to review each of these laws.In order for you to answer the following questions, you will need to have an understanding of the purpose, coverage, and requirements of each. After you have reviewed the eeoc.gov website and other sources providing you an overview of these major laws, please answer the following:
For each law/executive order, provide a list of specific questions that an organization should include in a routine self-audit to ensure that the organization has discrimination-free policies and procedures.
What types of data should organizations gather and analyze to ensure compliance with each of the above laws?
What HRM actions (programs, systems, procedures, activities) are necessary to ensure that unlawful harassment specific to age, sex, pregnancy, religion, disability, race, color, genetics and national origin does not take place?
Discuss the degree to which your SLP organization is committed to and successfully practices non-discrimination. How is this organization's practices toward discrimination-law compliance different that its practices toward nurturing and promoting diversity?
