Every year, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission collects workforce data from employers with more than 100 employees (lower thresholds apply to federal contractors). Employers meeting the reporting thresholds have a legal obligation to provide the data; it is not voluntary.

The data collected is used for a variety of purposes including enforcement, self-assessment by employers, and research. Each of the reports collects data about sex and race/ethnicity by some type of job grouping. This information is shared with other authorized federal agencies in order to avoid duplicate collection of data and reduce the burden placed on employers. Although the data is confidential, aggregated data is available to the public.

Under the new Trump administration, the EEOC has implemented significant changes to the EEO-1 Component 1 data collection for the 2024 reporting cycle. Notably, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the EEOC’s proposed 2024 instruction booklet on May 12, 2025, which eliminates the option to report non-binary employees, stating that the reporting provides “only binary options (i.e., male or female) for reporting employee counts.”

Additionally, the data collection period has been shortened, opening on May 20, 2025, and closing at 11:00 p.m. (EDT) on June 24, 2025.

This webinar will provide a detailed overview of these changes, clarify reporting obligations, and offer guidance on compliance strategies to ensure accurate and timely submissions.
