How many days does an Equal Opportunity Advisor (EOA) have to conduct a follow-up assessment of all formal EO and sexual harassment complaints?

The timeframe for an Equal Opportunity Advisor (EOA) to conduct a follow-up assessment of all formal Equal Opportunity (EO) and sexual harassment complaints is specifically set at 30-45 days. This period allows the EOA to effectively gather relevant information, evaluate the situation, and ensure that the complaints are being addressed adequately.

Conducting assessments within this timeframe is critical as it supports the integrity of the EO process and demonstrates a commitment to resolving issues in a timely manner. It also helps in providing updates and necessary adjustments to the actions taken in response to the complaints, fostering a more supportive and responsive environment. The choice aligns with policies aimed at prompt resolution and follow-up to maintain a respectful and equitable workplace culture.
