Seyfarth Shaw Submits Guidance To The EEOC On Its 2012-2016 Strategic Plan

As we reported earlier this year in various blog posts, the EEOC has developed a 2012-2016 Strategic Plan designed to be the blueprint for all of its enforcement activity in upcoming years. The Plan focuses on Strategic Objectives accompanied by targeted Outcome Goals and Performance Measures.

The EEOC’s first Strategic Objective is to combat employment discrimination through strategic law enforcement. This “strategic law enforcement” includes a mandate to develop and implement a Strategic Enforcement Plan by September 2012. According to the EEOC, the Strategic Enforcement Plan will replace the current National Enforcement Program prepared in 2006. In addition to articulating the EEOC’s high priority cases, the Enforcement Plan will outline the Commission's plan to “integrate” the EEOC’s investigation, conciliation, and litigation responsibilities for private employers and state and local government sectors.
