HR & Compliance, 20 minutes, self-paced
Title VII
Understand Title VII anti-discrimination requirements
Part of the compliance library: free for every employee at any company size.
Who it is for
Managers and supervisors who make or influence employment decisions, and anyone who fields complaints about unfair treatment. Foundational for new leaders who have never had formal exposure to federal anti-discrimination law.
What you will learn
- Identify the protected characteristics covered by Title VII (race, color, religion, sex, and national origin) and the employer actions the law reaches
- Distinguish disparate treatment from disparate impact and recognize how each shows up in real decisions
- Recognize religious accommodation and harassment situations early enough to respond appropriately
- Make hiring, discipline, and promotion decisions you can document and defend on job-related grounds
What changes on the job
- Employment decisions grounded in job-related reasons rather than assumptions
- Earlier, more appropriate responses to harassment or accommodation requests
- Cleaner documentation that holds up if a decision is ever questioned
This course is one part of the mix. The same topic runs as a live workshop where a facilitator who has held the role watches you practice, and Coach Taylor follows up afterward.
Talk to ARIA
Ask what you would ask us.
ARIA works the way a good first call works. She asks who is involved and what should change, recommends the closest starting point, quotes the real price, and hands you to a person when you want one.

Questions
Questions about this course.
How is this different from the ADA and Equal Pay courses?
Title VII covers race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. The ADA course addresses disability, and the Equal Pay Act course addresses wage discrimination by sex. Together they cover the core federal protections a manager should know.
How long is it?
About 20 minutes, self-paced. It works as a foundation before the more specific compliance courses in this track.
Do I need this if HR handles complaints?
Yes. Managers often make the decisions and hear the first complaints that create Title VII exposure, long before HR is involved.
