The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has a three-person Democrat majority, and its new Democrat Chairperson, Kalpana Kotagal, signals she is keen to encourage more diversity and inclusion efforts. Her goal is "to continue to support lawful DEI work and to reassure employers in particular, but also their counsel, about what the contours of lawful DEI programs look like." Further the priorities also include the implementation of Pregnant Workers' Fairness Act and workplace harassment issues. Further, the EEOC has expressed interest in reviving its compensation data collection, relating to equal pay issues.
