The survey research methodology was used where the target population was selected employees of selected commercial banks in Nyeri town. The instrument for data collection was questionnaire. Collected data was analysed which gave way for discussion and interpretation of the research findings. My major findings was that there is EEO in the selected banks because there is gender balance as is it reflected on the tables and that most employees who worked there had a degree. Out of the findings, various recommendations were made and this included developing of ant-discriminatory practices which should be documented and copies given to each employee. Once each has been given a copy, the employees should be guided through each policy to ensure full understanding of each of them.
