This is an article regarding the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) mediation process for federal employees. Our law firm represents federal employees in discrimination, harassment, retaliation and sexual harassment cases before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and in individual federal agency EEO offices. Many retaliation, discrimination or sexual harassment cases that are filed through the EEO process go through mediation, but each has slightly different processes and procedures depending on the federal agency involved. This article discusses the EEO mediation process and the potential benefits associated with engaging in that process for both parties involved.
