CONCLUSION
INTRODUCTION
Equal Employment Opportunity is the concept of equal
opportunity in an organization to achieve or maintain fair
employment. The core EEO definition (or equal
opportunity for employment) is that all employees
should be fairly treated when regarded in different
decisions on employment, such
as hiring, promotion, termination, compensation, etc.
Within the context of the EEO definition, 'same
opportunities' or 'equal opportunity' refers to the fact that
employers may not use certain grounds for hiring or
rejecting candidate or taking any other employment
decision.
The EEO principle helps employees to feel treated
equally and fairly. This greatly promotes other factors in
HRM, such as employee engagement, improved
performance, customer satisfaction, etc. The country-
level authorities often found it essential to inspect the
workforce of organizations to ensure diversity, in order
to encourage and even mandate equal
opportunities. EEO is important because it sets out how
people treat themselves at work.
BASIC PRINCIPLE OF EEO
EEO or Equal Employment Opportunity is the principle
that everyone has equal way to pursue a job that
is based on merit regardless of characteristics such as
race, sex or sexual orientation.
Equal Opportunity for Employment (EEO) law makes it
illegally possible for employers to discriminate under
certain features. That means employees are entitled to
free themselves from race, color, religion, national origin
and gender discrimination.
Any potential employee, who protects his interests
during all decisions on employment, shall have a right to
equal opportunities or EEO. This includes:
Hiring and recruitment
Compensation and pay scale
Termination
Employment requests
Benefits, bonus and incentives
Conditions of employment
Demotions
Promotions/Transfers
Disciplinary measures
Attendance and leave management
Dressing and appearance
ADVANTAGES
1. Improves overall recruitment funnel
An open and transparent recruitment process may be
established when the organization undertakes the concept
of equal employment opportunity in HRM. If potential
employees know the unfair decisions relating to the
recruitment procedure, they apply to better prospects during
such a venture.
2. Boosts customer satisfaction
The clients of an organizations are firmly assured when
employees contribute well to the organization's success, as
it lays down sound guidance to ensure a safer and friendly
workplace for all. A workplace that promotes employee well-
being may achieve further milestones and produce excellent
results that ultimately lead to better service to clients, thus
increasing customer retention and satisfaction.
3. Promotes employee engagement
The EEO law allows employees to interact openly and
communicate without discrimination between peers
regarding race, gender, religion or hierarchy. It does not
only promote respect for colleagues, but it also creates an
open and friendly culture that supports and encourages the
work of colleagues, and adds value to the organization's
diversity.
DISADVANTAGE
In many organizations, equal employment opportunity
has been considered inadequate to simply remove
barriers to the workplace, given the long history of
discrimination.
Many companies require highly specialized skills that
certain groups of people might possess. Even without
intentional discrimination, this can cause a decrease in
diversity.
Another disadvantage of equal employee opportunity is
that it doesn't come effortlessly. There are many people
who suffer some stereotyping of gender, race, sexual
orientation and nationality.
It is often necessary to consciously see past events and
judge people fairly. However, it is really up to every
employer to develop a culture, which accepts no
discrimination of any kind. This is not only an issue of
keeping up – it is important for you to create an
environment that helps people thrive in dynamic and
comfortable working situations.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, EEO laws play an important role in
creating a fair and inclusive workplace. Employers
have a legal obligation to ensure that their hiring,
recruitment, and retention practices are non-
discriminatory, and that all employees are treated with
respect and dignity.
By following these laws, employers can create a more
positive, productive, and equitable work environment
for all employees. Additionally, creating a diverse and
inclusive culture within the organisation helps create a
more innovative and engaging workforce.
