The portal is now open for employers to file their 2017 EEO-1 Surveys.  The deadline to file this year is March 31, 2018.  Following a reprieve in 2017, this will be employers’ first filing since the Fall of 2016.  While giving employers a break from reporting, the hiatus also allowed the EEO-1 Joint Reporting Committee time to implement some changes to the reporting portal.

In addition to looking somewhat different, the online reporting process now includes some additional security protocols.  To assist users, The EEO-1 Joint Reporting Commission has published an EEO-1 Survey User Guide with helpful information.  The User Guide provides step-by-step instructions with screenshots and walks users through both manual and batch upload reporting.

Additionally, first time users can obtain information and guidance on filing through the “First Time Users” link.

For questions you can reach out to the Commission for assistance via e-mail E1.TECHASSISTANCE@EEOC.GOV or by phone, 1-877-392-4647 (toll-free).

Laura understands that creating a competitive advantage for employers in today’s workplace involves using a data-driven approach to counsel companies on the development of proactive and equitable non-discriminatory practices in hiring, promotions, separations and pay—and where advancements in technology can create both opportunities for efficiencies and risk that can be measured.

Laura partners closely with government contractors to understand, implement and demonstrate compliance with their EEO regulatory and compliance obligations. She also works closely with non-government contractor clients to conduct risk assessments of their programs, policies, and training to align with federal and state anti-discrimination requirements.

Laura is the editor and a principal contributor of the GovCon Employment Exchange blog and presents on pay equity and government contractor obligations. To round out her days, Laura enjoys spending time with her family and friends attending sports events, working out, riding her bike, playing pickleball and taking in Colorado’s incomparable sunsets.
