EEOC updates workplace harassment guidance, addressing LGBTQ+ and pregnancy protections.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has updated its guidance on harassment in the workplace for the first time in over two decades. The new guidance addresses unlawful harassment against LGBTQ+ individuals, protections for pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions, and provides over 70 hypothetical examples of potential unlawful harassment. The guidance is effective immediately and serves as a resource for employers to update policies and stay current with anti-harassment principles.
