What does the EEO-1 Report help companies determine?

The EEO-1 Report is a compliance survey mandated by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) that requires employers to submit data on their workforce composition. This report collects information about the demographic makeup of an organization, including factors such as race, ethnicity, and gender, across various job categories. By analyzing this data, companies can determine how diverse their workforce is and identify areas where they may need to improve representation or address potential disparities.

Understanding workforce composition is essential for organizations to ensure they are complying with equal employment opportunity laws and to create equitable employment practices. It also helps inform diversity and inclusion strategies, allowing organizations to take proactive steps toward creating a more equitable workplace.

Other options such as employee satisfaction, training needs, and retention rates are important aspects of human resource management, but they do not fall under the specific purpose of the EEO-1 Report. This report is focused solely on demographic data and workforce diversity rather than employee engagement or retention metrics.
