Read Time: 1 Mins

Equal Employment Opportunity or EEO is an idea where each employee is treated equally and given equal and unbiased treatment irrespective of an employee’s ethnic origin, political association, religion, sex, race, color, gender, pregnancy, spirituality, belief, disability, military status, genetic information and age that has no bearing on his qualification, performance, and ability.

In this idea, employees are considered fairly for various employment decisions including hiring, promotion, termination, compensation, etc. It does not mean not hiring a potential employee; instead, the purpose is that no one is rejected based on any discrimination.
