  I have spent much of the last thirty plus years of my life considering the problems that arise when people from different backgrounds are asked to work together toward a common goal. I began my career as an investigator with the US EEOC and worked in various positions until I got the job of Outreach and Education Coordinator for the EEOC’s Dallas District. And in the sixteen years I held that job and the time since, running my own training firm, I expanded what had mostly been an internal search to a broader conversation involving groups of people across Texas. I engaged and learned and sometimes taught. I came to understand that equality in society and at work must be created, and that civil rights is both a legal question, but also a moral one, and when I say moral, I mean cultural, as in, “This is who we are.” So, my training modules focus both on the law and on creating the culture we need to get the most out of our people and cultivate a climate of respect, dignity, and safety for all. 

Rodney Klein has over sixteen years of experience as an EEO trainer and presenter as owner of Rodney Klein EEO Training and with the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.  He is a recognized authority in federal EEO law and is a sought-after speaker and trainer across Texas. He regularly educates groups on workplace discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act. He also trains audiences on addressing workplace behavior, creating civil cultures, understanding and reducing microaggressions, and minimizing unconscious bias in decision making. He coaches organizational leaders on how to re-think EEO in ways that better equip them to navigate the challenges brought on by an ever-changing social landscape. Rodney believes that understanding EEO both legally and culturally is the key in creating productive, efficient, and ultimately inspired workforces.
