CWC Hosts Member Roundtable On EEOC’s Rescission Of Harassment Guidance

The Center for Workplace Compliance, our affiliated nonprofit membership association, recently held a members-only roundtable to discuss the impact of the EEOC’s rescission of its 2024 Enforcement Guidance on Harassment in the Workplace.

The discussion underscored that organizational values rather than EEOC interpretive documents continue to drive employer standards. Many CWC member organizations reported that the rescission does not alter their policies because they already exceeded minimum federal standards. Several employers emphasized the importance of thoughtful internal communication to reassure employees that workplace protections and conduct standards remain unchanged.

Participants explored employer strategies for navigating compliance without a consolidated federal reference point and the rescission’s implications for future EEOC enforcement.

CWC members can continue these conversations at CWC’s upcoming Workplace Policy Conference, which will feature discussions about enforcement trends and practical employer strategies. CWC members can read more here.
