Guidance on how to prevent discrimination through strong policies, fair processes, accommodations, and ongoing monitoring.
Policy and Commitment
Adopt a clear anti discrimination policy and commit to equal opportunity. Communicate expectations, protect against retaliation, and provide safe reporting channels for concerns.
Fair Processes
Use standardized, objective criteria for all decisions. Maintain diverse decision making panels, and document the rationale for every major decision to enhance accountability.
Accommodations and Accessibility
Offer reasonable accommodations and ensure accessibility. Consider flexible work arrangements, accessible facilities, and inclusive onboarding for all employees.
Monitoring and Accountability
Track metrics on hiring, promotion, and compensation. Regular audits identify bias in processes. Leadership should model inclusive behavior and take prompt action on issues identified by data.
