Discussion Post: Equity & Inclusion in the Workplace

Legislation impacting diversity, equity, and inclusion is addressed in the previous unit's intellipath. Although the textbook more fully explained Title VII of the Civil Right Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Guidelines on Sexual Harassment (1980), and others, there are many more.

Table 3.1 in your textbook provides a partial list.

There are also Executive Orders that support diversity, equity, and inclusion, such as the following:

1) Executive Order 13985: Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government | The American Presidency Project

2) Executive Order 14035-Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in the Federal Workforce | The American Presidency Project

Focus your discussion on the following:

1) What legislative changes do you feel made the most impact on the current workforce?

2) Why did you choose this legislation?

3) What impact did it have?

4) Support your argument by providing an article or data to show the impact of your chosen legislative change on the workforce (e.g., Title VII Changed the Face of the American Workplace).
