EEO Basics: What Supervisors Need to Know

  • How will it look when you want to fire an employee who has received glowing evaluations for 5 years?
  • Are you guilty of performance appraisal inflation?
  • Will your personnel files defend against adverseemployment action?
  • Do you know basic EEO principles?


     In a whodunit format, you will be presented with complaints, evidence and information about the federal EEO laws. You decide who will win or lose the case. Feedback about your verdict is provided. By showing supervisors how their actions may impact the outcome of a lawsuit, supervisors will learn to think more before they act. Better supervisors will mean less litigation and a more productive workforce.

     Special sections on interviewing, leaves of absence, as well as discipline and evaluations will help you navigate the HR and legal maze.
