EnglishWhere Can Employers and Small Businesses Find EEOC Compliance Help and Training?
Updated
Employers and small business owners can find EEOC compliance help and training directly on eeoc.gov through the Employers / Small Business section of the homepage. That section links to small business resources, training and technical assistance, EEO surveys, downloadable publications, and guidance on employers' rights and responsibilities under equal employment opportunity law. The site also publishes news releases about EEOC settlements and lawsuits, which show how compliance failures translate into real payouts.
What the Employers / Small Business Section Offers
The homepage's "What can we help you find?" area groups resources by audience. For employers, the relevant entry is Employers / Small Business, which points to:
- Find help and resources for small businesses — entry point for compliance guidance aimed at smaller employers
- Get training and technical assistance — EEOC training and assistance offerings
- Complete an EEO survey — the EEO survey component employers may be asked to complete
- Download publications — EEOC publications available for download
- Learn about employers' rights and responsibilities under EEO law — the legal framework employers are held to
Each item is a navigation link on the site, so the practical step is to open the Employers / Small Business section and choose the resource matching your need: guidance, training, survey, or publications.
How to Use the Site to Reduce Compliance Risk
The site is not only a resource library; it also shows enforcement outcomes. The "Latest News" area lists recent EEOC actions, including settlements and lawsuits. Examples from the page evidence include:
| Matter | Amount | Issue |
|---|---|---|
| Triad National Security | $2.8 million | Religious and disability discrimination and retaliation |
| Renovation Flooring and Payfin Enterprises | $175,000 | Sexual harassment and retaliation |
| Garden City Jeep | $175,000 | Sexual harassment |
| San Antonio Car Dealerships | $430,000 | Sex discrimination and harassment |
| Sunrooms and More Design Center | $150,000 | Sexual harassment and retaliation |
Reading these alongside the employer resources helps you connect specific policies — harassment prevention, retaliation, religious and disability accommodation — to the consequences of getting them wrong.
What Else on the Site Is Relevant to Employers
Beyond the employer section, the homepage highlights:
- DEI-Related Discrimination resources, which the EEOC describes as helping employers and employees understand and report DEI-related employment discrimination, including actions motivated in whole or in part by race, sex, or another protected characteristic
- What You Should Know articles, including guidance on the Commission's authority to commence or intervene in litigation and on DEI-related discrimination at work
- Federal Agencies resources, relevant if you work with or as a federal employer
- About EEOC, including Commission meetings, legal resources, and budget and performance statistics
Practical Steps for an Employer
- Go to eeoc.gov and locate the Employers / Small Business section.
- Pick the resource that matches your task — small business help, training and technical assistance, EEO survey, or publications.
- Review the employers' rights and responsibilities material to confirm which EEO obligations apply to your workplace.
- Check the Newsroom for recent EEOC actions in your industry to see how the agency applies the law.
- Use the DEI-Related Discrimination resources if you need clarity on how DEI-related practices intersect with EEO law.
Common Questions
Is there a dedicated small business track? Yes — the site lists "Find help and resources for small businesses" as a distinct entry under Employers / Small Business.
Can I get training through the site? The site links to "Get training and technical assistance," which is the starting point for EEOC training offerings.
Where do I find official publications? Use the "Download publications" link in the same section.
How do I know what the EEOC is currently enforcing? The Newsroom and "Latest News" area list recent settlements and lawsuits, with dollar amounts and the discrimination issues involved.
The site does not state pricing for training or other services in the material available, so treat cost and access terms as something to confirm through the linked resources rather than assuming they are free.
