The COVID-19 pandemic has harmed a disproportionate number of women, minorities, older workers and people with disabilities, the president and chief executive officer of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) told members of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) during a hearing on April 28.
Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., SHRM-SCP, said EEOC guidance and additional resources will help employers eliminate some of the negative effects on those who have been hit especially hard in the last year.
