What exactly is an Affirmative Action Plan? What does it mean to you and your employees? Would you be ready for an Affirmative Action Plan audit?

 

An Affirmative Action Plan is a written document through which management assures that all persons have equal opportunities in recruitment, selection, appointment, promotion, training, discipline and related employment areas. It is also a commitment to affirmatively reach out to assure this is achieved.  The plan is tailored to the employer’s workforce and the skills available in the labor force.

 

That sounds simple enough, but did you know that specific policies and procedures must be in effect and the organization must demonstrate that it understands the plan and leverages it as the federal government intended? And, changes to requirements happen frequently.

 

Keeping on top of it all requires knowledge and time that The HR Effect can provide. Affirmative Action is one area that many companies outsource because of the significant labor involved. From drafting your plan – or writing it for you – and then helping you implement it, to preparing the necessary detailed statistical analyses, monitoring it, and providing annual training to supervisors and managers, The HR Effect can save you time and money. Call us today!
