Remember those posters you are supposed to have in your physical offices?
Well the EEOC yesterday just released a new one that is sure to make all those companies that offer those posters (at a charge, instead of for free) happy.
As of this morning, the link to the actual poster remains broken on the
Whether you call this season “fall” or “pumpkin spice latte time”, I like to call it — “It’s CHRO Annual Report Season!”
