Research Reports

Everyone agrees that workplace discrimination has no place in the modern business world. But, in an increasingly diverse workforce, the possibility of discrimination rises.

Failure to act can cost companies in morale and turnover, as well as the bottom line.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) reports that employee claims of discrimination last year jumped to 95,402, the most since the agency was created in 1965.

If an aggrieved employee files a discrimination claim against your company what you don't know can hurt you.

Discrimination claims costs add up quickly, with employers’ attorneys’ fees, court expenses, and settlement payments. In 2008, the EEOC recovered approximately $376 million in monetary relief for thousands of discrimination victims.
