New EEO-1 Form
Ross Runkel has a nice post outlining the new approved changes to the EEO-1 Form. The new survey format will go into effect in 2007 and includes the following changes:
- Adding a new category titled "Two or more races not Hispanic or Latino";
- Separating "Asians" from "Pacific Islanders";
- Adding a new category titled "Asians not Hispanic or Latino";
- Adding a new category titled "Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander not Hispanic or Latino";
- Extending the EEO-1 data collection by race and ethnicity to the State of Hawaii; and
- Strongly endorsing self-identification of race and ethnic categories, as opposed to visual identification by employers.
- Dividing "Officials and Managers" into two levels based on responsibility and influence within the organization: "Executive/Senior Level Officials and Managers" and "First/Mid-Level Official and Managers"; and
- Moving non-managerial business and financial occupations from the "Officials and Managers" category to the "Professionals" category.
Some of these changes are long overdue as our society becomes more diverse. For years the EEOC has been discussing expanding the job categories. It's nice to see that changes have finally come.
