Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) refers to the principle that all individuals should have the same chances for employment and advancement in the workplace, regardless of their race, gender, age, disability, or other personal characteristics. EEO laws are designed to prevent discrimination and ensure that hiring and promotion decisions are based on qualifications and performance rather than biases. Organizations are required to create a fair work environment by implementing policies that promote diversity and inclusion. This includes providing training on unconscious bias, conducting regular assessments of workplace practices, and ensuring that all employees have access to the same resources and opportunities for growth.
