Employment Roundtables

The Employment Roundtables were begun in 1983 in partnership with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH). The Employment Roundtables are composed of volunteers from business, employers, public and private, and from labor organizations. Its purpose is to create an awareness of the problems of discrimination, harassment and retaliation in employment. The goal of the Employment Roundtables is to reduce discrimination and promote equal opportunity.

The objectives of the Employment Round Tables are to:

  • Enhance communications between the Department and employers.
  • Provide forums which promote education, advocacy and understanding of anti-discrimination laws and practices.
  • Initiate cooperative programs which preserve civil rights and expand equal opportunity in employment.

The Employment Round Tables provide:

  • Seminars and conferences on discrimination, harassment, and retaliation in employment.
  • Information on DFEH activities.
  • Counseling and other assistance to small employers.
  • Special projects in response to public educational needs.
  • Technical advice and input to DFEH on its procedures.
