Client Services
Now that you have determined that you are a government contractor/subcontractor (See: Do you need an AAP? ) what is the next step?
Upon initial contact with us, we will discuss and determine your Affirmative Action needs. We will then provide, free of charge, pricing for our services. We understand that in a rapidly changing economy, your organization’s needs vary. We at Mark M. Mansell and Associates, LLC are so confident in our ability to expertly serve your organization that we offer the unique flexibility of one year contracts. In addition, we price our services individually or in combinations; which allows you to purchase only the services that you need. As a result, our prices are competitive and cost effective.
You will then receive a request from us for personnel data: a personnel “snapshot” as of a specific date, and all personnel transactions (hires, terminations, promotions, transfers, and applicant flow) for the prior year. The date/dates for this data are determined by the date chosen for your Affirmative Action Program. The AAP is an analysis of your prior year workforce. This is why regulations require it be prepared on a yearly basis.
As we tell all of our clients, this is not a cause for alarm. We realize that you may not have all the data we are requesting, or may have it, but are not aware that you do. Our knowledge of HR and HR systems will guide you through, and if so requested, we will work with your HRIS area to determine if this data can be extracted from your system. In addition, we will assist you in establishing procedures to ensure future compliance with all recordkeeping requirements under the regulations.
While we are analyzing the data you sent us, we will also be working in conjunction with you to develop the narrative portions of the AAP. Our experienced staff will provide guidance and instruction as to how to best present this information. We realize that this is a learning experience on both ends, and so we encourage your questions and comments. Support is available via telephone, through e-mail and fax. Responses to your inquiries are handled in an expedient manner.
All required analyses are prepared and delivered to you in finished format, thus saving you the long, time consuming hours it takes to complete the analysis. We provide a complete AAP and the only thing that you have to do once you receive it, is to have it executed by the designated officer of your organization.
In addition, after receiving the AAP we also provide an in-depth review to you free of charge. We believe that you should fully understand what this document represents, and its relevance to your organization. We are also available to answer any and all questions that you, your management team, or counsel, might have in regards to the AAP during the year.
