EEOC Takes on Emerging Issues in New Strategic Enforcement Plan

The article, “EEOC Takes on Emerging Issues in New Strategic Enforcement Plan,” featured in Corporate Counsel, discussed how the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) will focus on discrimination against Muslims, nontraditional employment and automated employment screening tools in its new strategic plan.

Randy Coffey said that employers should pay close attention to the new strategic plan, because the EEOC was "true to form" when putting its last strategic plan into action.

The new strategic plan promises to address what the commission calls "complex employment relationships," such as temporary workers, independent contractors and on-demand economy workers.
