Title VII Foundations: Discrimination, Harassment & Retaliation (EO 14173-Integrated)
This introductory session explains the core principles of Title VII and how they align with Executive Order 14173’s certification requirement that federal contractors operate employment systems free from discriminatory patterns. Participants will learn what constitutes discrimination, harassment, and retaliation—and how everyday employment decisions can create hidden risks. The course sets the foundation for building a legally defensible, merit-based compliance program under Title VII and EO 14173.
You will learn:
- What Title VII protects and how violations affect EO 14173 certification
- Disparate treatment vs. disparate impact, and why EO 14173 requires employers to detect & correct adverse patterns
- Harassment and hostile-work-environment standards for certification readiness
- Why retaliation is the #1 EEOC claim and how to prevent it through consistent, documented practices
