# EEOC Moves to End EEO-1 Reporting

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has approved a plan to eliminate EEO-1 forms and other demographic reporting requirements. Former EEOC Chair Jenny Yang urged employers to continue collecting workforce race and sex data. For federal contractors, the plan signals a potential change in reporting obligations, but the source does not specify when or whether the changes will take effect.

- Contractors can assess whether to retain demographic data internally for workforce analysis and compliance, as Yang recommended; this is not presented as a new mandatory requirement.
- The EEOC’s next steps will determine how reporting obligations change. Companies should distinguish the approved plan from requirements currently in force when managing workforce-data processes.
- No solicitation, contract value, or implementation deadline is identified in the signal.
