Wall –Mart Case :

Solutions :

Employers should always conduct their business in order to avod EEOC charges and lawsuits. In fact complying with their policies and practices is an asset against most légal issues.

In order to prevent job discrimination employers must create the adequate workplace culture with thèse 4 solutions :

1. Implement and integrate a strict policy that makes employment discrimination of any type unacceptable in your workplace

- The policy should include a process for reporting any incidents of employment discrimination, harassment or retaliation to the company. Preferably employees are given several methods for reporting incidents in case their supervisor is involved in the employment discrimination matter.

- The employment discrimination policy should also communicate how an employee complaint will be handled with an outline of steps. The employment discrimination policy should spell out disciplinary action that will be taken with offenders

2. Train your managers in the implementation of the anti-discrimination policy with the expectation that prevention is their responsibility.

Managers should :

Create a workplace where discrimination cannot occur

Recognize the signs of discrimination and know how to adress the problems.

Thoroughly understand the company Policy to be proactive when needed.

3; Mandatory employee training should address many of the same issues as the managers’ training relative to employment discrimination.

All employees must sign off on a training record and to indicate that they are aware of and understand the employer’s policy and complaint process.

4. Establish cultural expectations and norms. 

Creating a work environment that is free of employment discrimination, and all forms of harassment and retaliation should be integral in employee job descriptions.
