In 2007, employment discrimination filings with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission were at their highest level in five years. More than two-thirds of employment litigation, including employment discrimination, is decided for the plaintiff.

Large and small enterprises are at risk of employment discrimination charges—40% of employment litigation charges are filed against firms with 15 to 100 employees. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is calling on all firms to take action to prevent employment discrimination.

• Conduct a Background Check - Initiating background checks during the hiring process is a key means of preventing employment discrimination. A background search enables employers to consider criminal records, employment history and other criteria relevant to the position.
• Deliver Employment Discrimination Training - Ensure your employees understand the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission guidelines for appropriate work behavior.
