In the spirit of cooperation, the Commission has begun establishing memoranda of understanding (MOUs) with employers under federal jurisdiction. These MOUs will focus on large employers that are willing to work with the Commission to prevent discrimination and resolve complaints effectively and quickly. As part of these MOUs, the Commission will consult with the management teams of these organizations to select the main areas of concern and develop strategies to deal with them. Commission staff will work closely with stakeholders on solutions to human rights issues. These solutions could include creating new policies or changing existing ones; sharing best practices through human rights training and information; and developing instruments to assist employers, such as case studies, presentations, posters and interactive teaching tools.
