GKG Law Principal Katie Meyer was quoted in the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) article "Legal Overview of How to Make Hiring and Promoting More Equitable," which published on August 19. The article discusses the fact that employers looking to make hiring and promoting fairer for people of color should review Equal Employment Opportunity Commission EEOC initiatives and consent decrees for guidance.

Katie notes that: 

Getting hired is just the first of many hurdles for a minority employee. When people of color are hired, these individuals are commonly not promoted as frequently as white employees. Companies need to take an interest in the advancement of employees of color. This includes creating comprehensive mentoring and training programs that do more than just help the employee create good work product.
