What the Rollback of EEOC Guidance on Gender Identity Means for Employers
2025-05-22 | Resource
Traliant legal experts will break down the implications of the Texas decision and the rollback of EEOC enforcement guidance — including what they do and do not change.
In May, a Texas federal court vacated the EEOC’s harassment enforcement guidance on gender identity. As a result, employers — especially federal contractors and recipients of federal funds — are uncertain about how to approach topics related to sex, gender and gender identity in harassment prevention training. How can an employer comply with state and local training requirements, get the liability protection benefits that training can offer and avoid risks related to the January Executive Order on gender identity?
In this on-demand webinar, Traliant legal experts will break down the implications of the Texas decision and the rollback of EEOC enforcement guidance — including what they do and do not change. We’ll cover:
- Whether the Texas decision impacts harassment training requirements for private employers and federal contractors
- The role of Executive Order 11246 in shaping contractor obligations
- The status of Title VII law on these issues and how to address gender identity in training and policy
- Practical guidance on how to keep training compliant and address sensitive questions around gender identity amid shifting regulatory environment.
