In this episode, Pam, Doug, and Jennifer walk through the EEOC’s newly released technical assistance bulletin addressing national origin discrimination. The team highlights why the bulletin matters, how it fits into broader enforcement trends, and what employers should keep in mind when navigating workplaces that include a mix of U.S. workers, visa holders, and migrant or foreign labor.

Drawing from recent examples and the EEOC’s stated priorities, the conversation focuses on practical considerations: advertising roles consistently, offering work opportunities fairly, reviewing hiring practices, and responding appropriately when employees raise concerns. The attorneys also emphasize the growing intersection between immigration processes and Title VII compliance — and why employers may need to reassess long-standing practices in light of this guidance.
