Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Equal employment opportunity legislation directly affects how sales managers implement their sales programs by requiring them to ensure that their hiring, promotion, and compensation practices do not discriminate against individuals based on their protected status (such as race, gender, age, religion, etc.). Sales managers must also provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities and actively promote diversity and inclusion in their teams. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in legal and financial consequences for the company.
