Summary: The commenter suggests that the EEOC should expand its role beyond enforcement to champion workplace excellence and productivity, similar to historical industrial initiatives. They argue that the agency should promote best practices for flourishing and high-performing workplaces rather than just acting as a regulatory guardian.
Is there a place for EEOC to champion a Baldridge Award styled competition or incentivization of thriving workplaces akin to how Commerce and Labor did 50+ years ago to stimulate the American industrial complex to surge capacity and management excellence? We see the Gallup data on trends about workforce engagement, productivity, and the importance of high performing workplaces for the American economy and flourishing of Americans. Is there a place for the EEOC to sponsor/champion best practices so it's not just a guardian of the ditches but promoter of flourishing, vibrancy, and robust good health in employment practices more broadly?
