Affirmative Action Program
Our programs are well organized and in strict compliance with the OFCCP regulations. Our Affirmative Action Program (AAP) contains the following information that is mandated by the regulations and is developed by us in conjunction with our clients:
- Designation of responsibility. The organization must provide for the implementation of EEO and the AAP by assigning responsibility and accountability to an official of the organization. This individual must have the authority, resources, support of and access to top management to ensure the effective implementation of the AAP.
- A Workforce Analysis indicating race, sex, EEO-1 category, job title, salary, department and location for each individual within the workforce.
- A Job Group Analysis that compiles the workforce data within EEO-1 categories and subdivisions.
- A Two Factor Availability Analysis that applies appropriate statistical data by industry and geographic location.
- Achievement of Goal Report measuring the organization's success in meeting its prior year goals.
- A Comparison of Incumbency to Availability that establishes Placement Goals when the comparison of availability to incumbency indicates an underutilization of minorities and/or females.
- Identification of Problem Areas in accordance with the regulations to include: Analysis of the workforce which identifies concentrated/underrepresented areas for minorities and females within job group/departments; and the Impact Ratio Analysis, which is an analysis of personnel transactions.
- Compensation Analysis. Unlike many of our competitors we offer various methodologies/options of compensation analysis. All areas of concern are identified.
- An enumeration of the organization's Action Oriented Activities developed by the organization in order that they may achieve established placement goals.
- An explanation of the organization's Internal Audit and Reporting System.
- Affirmative Action Program for Individuals with Disabilities and Protected Veterans.
In addition, we realize that many states and local agencies require Affirmative Action Programs, which conform to specific state/local regulations. In fact, our AAPs have been submitted to state and local agencies across the country, and have been found to be in compliance time and time again. We not only work one on one with our clients, but with their permission, work with federal, state, and local agencies on their behalf to ensure acceptance of the Affirmative Action Program.
