Did you know that each year from 1945 until 1957, Congress considered and failed to pass a civil rights bill? The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was finally signed on this date 60 years ago, outlawing workplace discrimination. Then-Secretary of Labor Willard Wirtz helped implement new antidiscrimination regulatory responsibilities under the act as well as desegregate Labor Department staff. Today, our Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs ensures federal contractors comply with workplace nondiscrimination and affirmative action laws. Visit dol.gov/ofccp to learn more.

Johnson signs the act with civil rights leaders in attendance. (Credit: White House Press Office)

Tomorrow is #Juneteeth National Independence Day which celebrates the end of slavery in the United States and is also known as Emancipation Day. While Abraham Lincoln issued the proclamation to free enslaved African Americans in secessionist states on January 1, 1863, enslavers were held responsible for telling the enslaved they were free and some ignored the directive. Enslaved people in Texas, would not learn of their freedom until two and a half years later. Texas was the last Confederate state where the proclamation was announced, and the first to recognize the date of June 19 – Juneteenth – statewide.  https://lnkd.in/eGg3-77H

PEP is proud to be a #WBENCCertified #WOSB!

This article really resonates as a government contractor that manages employees who work within many different government agencies, each with its own culture different than the #MicroCulture that exists at PEP corporately. For us, mindful recruiting and hiring for fit is key. Interesting discussion and strategies to ponder when fostering employee microcultures... #CorporateCulture #GovCon #GovernmentContractor #HumanCapitalManagement #EmployeeExperience #HR 

#HR is often in the difficult position of taking care of and advocating for employees, while at the mercy of C-suite decisions to cut costs and restructure. However, this article suggests that the turnover costs and and hit to performance are rarely taken into consideration...mostly because they aren't measured. Do you know your turnover costs?
