EEOC has announced the opening of the 2021 EEO-1 Component 1 Data Collection platform.  The deadline to complete filing this year is May 17, 2022 – giving employers only 5 weeks to complete the reporting.  In an e-mail message announcing the opening, the  Agency encouraged filers to begin the filing process “as soon as possible.”    This is not the only government reporting deadline looming for federal contractors.  As a reminder, the deadline for OFCCP contractor verification is June 30, 2022.

The Agency noted improvements have been made to improve the process by “making it more user-friendly and streamlining functions, including additional self-service options, and providing a new Filer Support Team Message Center for filer support.”

The new resources can be found on the Agency’s dedicated EEO-1 Component 1 website.

As a reminder,  the EEO-1 reporting obligation applies to all private sector employers with 100 or more employees and federal contractors with 50 or more employees meeting certain criteria, and contains  workforce demographics including data by race/ethnicity, sex, and job categories.

As co-leader of the firm’s ESG group, Laura Mitchell partners with her clients to evaluate, set, achieve and monitor their organizational culture and human capital goals. She focuses her practice on data analytics, including pay equity and other employee analytics, working side-by-side with employers to build programs that benefit employees and create a stable, high-functioning workplace. Understanding that an inclusive, values-based culture provides a crucial competitive advantage in the modern workplace, Laura enjoys counseling companies on the development of proactive and equitable pay and diversity practices.

In Laura’s version of the reimagined workplace, attention to human capital issues, especially DEI and pay equity, would be the rule rather than the exception nationwide and she works with companies across all industries—both new and well-established multi-national organizations of all sizes—to realize this vision for her clients’ ongoing success. She helps clients understand all issues across the spectrum of their journey, helping to establish regular analyses as well as counseling organizations on implementation and compliance obligations, where applicable. Committed to putting her clients’ organizational goals first and foremost, Laura views herself as an extension of her clients’ team, responsible for providing proactive guidance and engaging in transparent, ongoing communication.

Laura also represents companies in OFCCP matters, preparing for and defending OFCCP audits, and counseling employers on issues stemming from OFCCP regulations. She personally oversees the development of hundreds of Affirmative Action Plans for clients each year and is intimately involved in the defense of OFCCP audits. Her approach to compliance is one of facilitation and conciliation while simultaneously advocating in the best interests of her clients.
