The Role of the EEOC in Enforcing Harassment Laws

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces federal laws regarding workplace harassment. For harassment to be actionable, it must either result in a change in the victim's employment status or benefits, or it must be enduring and pervasive enough to create a hostile work environment. The EEOC also provides guidelines for employers to create anti-harassment policies and training programs to prevent harassment.
