EEO Compliance Training

When the EEOC issues a finding of discrimination, harassment, reprisal, or failure to accommodate, it’s common for the Commission to order mandatory compliance training for the offenders. Sometimes, the orders are required for all supervisors or all staff within an organization – and there’s usually a short window to complete the training.

While some may jokingly refer to this as “punishment training,” it’s anything but: It’s an opportunity to learn from specific mistakes and help attendees understand how to foster a diverse and inclusive work environment where everyone feels safe to contribute. If your agency is required to provide compliance training as the result of a very specific EEO issue, why-oh-why would you want to buy a generic recording made 5 years ago and “check the box” to meet the order? Wouldn’t it do your agency’s employees good to have a training tailored to the exact problems you’ve encountered?

One of the reasons the EEOC orders training is to prevent the issue from occurring again. If you have an order from the EEOC to provide training, consider FELTG as an option. From one-on-one coaching to presentations for dozens of supervisors or employees, we can make your compliance training worthwhile – and effective.

Event FAQs

Is there any flexibility with course durations for Agency Direct training? 

Yes. Many agencies have requested that full-day courses be taught over two half-days to ensure maximum engagement, especially when the course is being taught virtually. Any course can be spread out over multiple days or condensed into shorter sessions. And shorter classes can often be combined to build longer courses covering more topics. We’ll be happy to discuss the options that are most convenient to you.

In what format is this class held?

The class may be held onsite at an agency location, or as a live virtual event. Virtual events are generally held using your agency’s platform (Zoom, WebEx, Teams, etc.). In certain situations where FELTG hosts, the event will be held on Zoom or Teams.

Can I earn CLE credits for this class?

CLE applications are the responsibility of each attendee; FELTG does not apply for the credits on behalf of attendees. If you are seeking CLE credit, you may use the materials provided by FELTG in submission to your state bar. You may also request a certificate of completion which will contain the number of training hours attended.
