Affirmative Action

kathy534

We are a small employer (130), who will begin working under a Federal contract in the Spring. We need to establish an Affirmative Action Plan. Where do you start?

I understand we will need to survey the population, and complete reports...but are these things available, or do you create them on your own?

How would a written policy look?

Thanks for all your help!!!

You're not going to like this answer, but each Affirmative Action Plan is different. You have to account for underutilization in various groups and explain your efforts to remedy those underutilizations. Most of my clients outsource the writing of their AAP's to someone who does this on a regular basis. I have someone I use for my clients. Call me if you're interested.

Margaret is correct. AAP's are so cumbersome and are dependent on specific circumstances that the best thing to do for a first plan is to have someone who specializes in this area do it for you.

Thanks to all for the responses. It's actually somewhat of a relief, to think this project should be outsourced...now to convince the CFO!

Thanks again, everyone.

LOVE THIS BOARD!
