Equal Employment Opportunity and Employee Rights Review
Equal employment opportunity is the right of all people and the responsibility of each employer. Employers must maintain a fair workplace and recruit, develop, and retain a diverse workforce. An environment in which personnel can develop and apply a range of competencies, solutions, and ideas is fostered.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission came into creation by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The history of Equal Opportunity Employment is littered with the grassroots efforts from African Americans and other minority groups.

The passage of anti-discriminatory protections like the Americans with Disabilities Act (1990) and the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 people would have some sense of security regarding equality at workplace. A number of laws, amendments, and executive orders have shaped the way HRM functions today.

The basic rights include free from discrimination based on race, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and nationality.
