EEOC Launches E-RACE

PlanSponsor.com has word this morning about a new, modernized approach the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is undertaking to fight racism in the workplace:

According to a press release, E-RACE is an outreach, education, and enforcement campaign to advance the statutory right to a workplace free of race and color discrimination - the most prevalent cause of employment discrimination, according to the agency.

The EEOC will identify specific issues, criteria and barriers that contribute to race and color discrimination; explore strategies to improve the administrative processing and litigation of race and color cases; and enhance public awareness of race and color discrimination in employment.

Although the details seem somewhat sketchy at this point, this has the potential to be another weapon in the agency's arsenal to eradicate discrimination from the workplace.
