Janet Emerson Bashen is an American inventor, entrepreneur, and business consultant. She patented a software program, LinkLIne, to assist with web-based Equal Employment Opportunity investigations.[2] She founded a human resource consulting firm focusing on Equal Opportunity Employment compliance, which investigated civil rights violations and employee misconduct.
