EEOC Expert Solutions for Your Organization
It only takes one disgruntled employee to file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). If the complaint leads to litigation and the employer loses, the result is often a Consent Decree -a settlement agreement that outlines the employer’s obligations to correct any alleged violations.
Corporate attorneys often negotiate the terms of the Consent Decree, including how long the employer will be required to meet legal obligations. Common requirements include providing training for employees and managers, sometimes for multiple years. This training, specified by the EEOC, can span up to five consecutive years.
When faced with a Consent Decree, employers typically have a limited timeframe to arrange necessary training. RPC Human Resources has over 20 years of experience facilitating EEO and respectful workplace training, with certified instructors who can provide on-site or virtual sessions tailored to your needs. Costs vary based on the number of attendees, training days, and location, generally ranging from $500 to $1,500 per person.

Frequently Asked Questions
The timeline for completing EEOC-mandated training depends on the specific terms of the consent decree. Most decrees require supervisors, managers, and HR staff to complete training within a set period—often 60–90 days—and may include ongoing refresher sessions. Employers are typically required to report completion to the EEOC by the deadlines outlined in the decree. At RPC we design and deliver training to meet the EEOC's requirements.
EEOC consent decrees usually require training tailored to address the specific violations in the case. This often includes anti-harassment, discrimination, and retaliation prevention for supervisors, managers, and HR staff, plus instruction on company policies, complaint handling, and proper investigation procedures. Some decrees also mandate refresher courses or additional training for employees as needed.
An EEOC consent decree is a legally binding agreement between the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and a business to resolve a discrimination or harassment complaint without litigation. It typically requires the company to take corrective actions—such as implementing policies, providing training, and monitoring compliance—which can affect operations, HR practices, and reporting obligations.
