SUMMARY:EEO – ¡En Español! – First Spanish Language Webinar for Employers
DESCRIPTION:\n\nHost: U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)\nFormat: Online Workshop\nThursday, August 4th, 2022 at 1:30 PM to 3:50 PM Eastern time\n\n \n\nTo register for the Spanish workshop or obtain more information, please visit: https://www.eeoc.gov/training/2022/07/eeo-en-espanol-avoiding-employment-discrimination-understanding-law-and-best ( https://www.eeoc.gov/training/2022/07/eeo-en-espanol-avoiding-employment-discrimination-understanding-law-and-best )\n\n \n\n‘EEO – ¡En Español!’ to Cover EEO Fundamentals Using Practical Scenarios and Interactive Discussion\n\n \n\nOn August 4, 2022, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) will hold a virtual EEO workshop for employers exclusively in Spanish, a first for the agency.\n\n \n\nThe fee-based event ( https://www.eeoc.gov/training/2022/07/eeo-en-espanol-avoiding-employment-discrimination-understanding-law-and-best ) will cover the essential information that every employer and manager needs to understand in order to fulfill their legal obligation to maintain a workplace free from unlawful harassment and discrimination. Additionally, the workshop will focus on a few key hot topics, including harassment, retaliation, and employment issues related to COVID-19.\n\n \n\n“This historic event advances many EEOC priorities and strengthens our longtime relationship with Spanish-speaking communities,” said EEOC Chair Charlotte A. Burrows. “It is important to ensure that our outreach is conducted in languages other than English. Educating employers and small businesses about the laws that prohibit employment discrimination is a critical part of the EEOC’s mission.”\n\n \n\nThe workshop is geared toward employers, including small business owners, supervisors, managers, team leads, and HR personnel who primarily speak Spanish and/or have limited English proficiency (LEP). However, the information will also be useful to employees and advocates, such as union officials and non-governmental organizations serving LEP and Spanish-speaking communities.\n\n \n\nAccording to 2019 data from the U.S. Census Bureau ( https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table?q=Language%20Spoken%20at%20Home&tid=ACSST1Y2019.S1601 ), more than 41 million Americans, or about 13.5% of the population, speak Spanish at home. Recognizing the importance of the immigrant labor force, in the past year, the EEOC has signed cooperative agreements with the embassies of Mexico ( https://www.eeoc.gov/memorandum-understanding-between-united-states-america-equal-employment-opportunity-commission-and ), Guatemala ( https://www.eeoc.gov/memorandum-understanding-between-united-states-america-equal-employment-opportunity-commission-1 ), Honduras ( https://www.eeoc.gov/memorandum-understanding-between-united-states-equal-employment-opportunity-commission-and ), and El Salvador ( https://www.eeoc.gov/memorandum-understanding-between-united-states-america-equal-employment-opportunity-commission-0 ).\n\n \n\nThe EEOC advances opportunity in the workplace by enforcing federal laws prohibiting employ­ment discrimination.
