Today, the EEOC released a new resource, Promising Practices for Preventing Harassment in the Construction Industry. This document details concrete actions that construction industry leaders can undertake to prevent and remedy harassment on construction worksites. The recommendations take into account the unique context of construction, including the presence of multiple employers on a single worksite, and the cyclical nature of the work. The document follows the EEOC’s 2023 Chair’s Report, Building For the Future: Advancing Equal Employment in the Construction Industry, and the updated Enforcement Guidance on Harassment in the Workplace, and is part of the agency’s ongoing engagement and dialogue with industry stakeholders.
