Affirmative Action Plans

The three Affirmative Action Plans developed by Workplace Dynamics are technically compliant and have been reviewed successfully by OFCCP offices throughout the country.  We have been commended by many OFCCP compliance officers for our plan format and data submission.

Neither our AAPs nor our process for developing them are cookie-cutter.  We work hand-in-hand with you through all phases of the development and implementation and meticulously review your data for accuracy.  We do not begin creating your AAP unless we are confident of the data integrity.  We provide “all-the-time” e-mail or telephone technical support from our Affirmative Action experts to answer your questions. 

The Affirmative Action Plan (AAP) for Minorities and Women includes:
Part I – Numerical/Statistical Analysis – we will perform the following tasks and prepare the following reports.

• If job groups have not been developed, assess your organization and recommend job group assignments based on similar job contents, wage rates and opportunities.
• Review all existing EEO-1 assignments for accuracy or assign an EEO-1 category to each job title.
• Using the 2000 U.S. Census data, work with your company representative to identify and assign census occupational codes for each job title. 
• Develop the Job Group Analysis identifying position titles and incumbents by minority group status and gender.
• Prepare the Workforce Analysis/Organizational Profile identifying position titles and incumbents by minority group status and gender for each department.
• Conduct the 2-Factor/Utilization Analysis to determine labor market and internal availability for each job group.  This is a weighted statistical analysis by location and census occupational category.
• Prepare the utilization analysis by job group and set annual placement goals where necessary.  This analysis compares the internal workforce representation to the labor market availability and identifies areas of under-representation.
• Conduct the adverse impact and standard deviation analysis on applicants, hires, promotions, and terminations for each job group. 

Part II - Narrative Analysis
The narratives will include the following AAP sections:

• EEO/AA Policy statement
• Designation of Responsibility for Implementation
• Identification of Problem Areas
• Development and Execution of Action Oriented Programs
• Periodic Internal Audits
• Compliance with Sex Discrimination Guidelines
• Compliance with Religion and National Origin Discrimination Guidelines

The Affirmative Action Plan (AAP) for Covered Veterans and Individuals with Disabilities includes the following narrative analysis:

• Affirmative Action Policy
• Review of Personnel Processes
• Physical and Mental Qualifications
• Accommodation to Physical and Mental Limitations of Employees
• Harassment
• Outreach, Positive Recruitment, and External Dissemination of Policy
• Internal Dissemination of Policy
• Audit and reporting system
• Responsibility for Implementation
• Training
• Invitation to Self-Identify

What is different about our AAPs?  They are easy to understand.  We take the legalese out of the process and work with you to develop processes to support the affirmative action program and legal requirements.  Our plans meet the legal requirements, but they don’t have extraneous analyses and reports that are not required.  We take the time to review the plans with you so that you have a full understanding of each report.  We are always just a phone call or e-mail away from answering your questions.   Click here for an overview of the Affirmative Action Program requirements.

What sets us apart from other Affirmative Action Consultants? For each plan developed or updated, we provide a detailed AAP Executive Summary .  This report outlines the workforce representation; goals; identifies areas requiring corrective action; and makes specific recommendations to further investigate areas with indicators of potential problems.
