Question: What is the best way to make sure your bank is EEO compliant?
Answer: Making sure your bank is compliant with the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) laws is not only a requirement of federal law, it is good business sense. Creating a working environment that is diverse, free from stereotypes, prejudices, discrimination and harassment makes a productive work environment and can dramatically reduce turn-over, lawsuits and negative publicity. Follow these steps to ensure your bank is EEO compliant:
Provide customized EEO training that includes your policies and procedures with real-world scenarios.
Provide discrimination and harassment education.
Teach supervisors and managers not to discriminate against applicants and employees.
Enforce accountability at all levels of your institution.
Communicate your institution's vision and values.
Give your employees the resources to track down the answers to their own questions.
Maintain records of training completion for all employees.
