Affirmative Action:Analysis and Goal Setting for AAPs EO210
$1195.00
At the heart of federal affirmative action (AA) regulations is the requirement that employers analyze their workforce and employment transactions. This diagnostic analysis of transactional data highlights potential problem areas that then become the focus of AA efforts. Using as a guide the AA regulations issued under Executive Order 11246, you will work through a case study following each step in the process of preparing an Affirmative Action Program.
While these regulations apply only to government contractors, the analytical techniques may be used by any employer, private or public sector, interested in developing an AAP that can be used as an effective management tool. For those organizations who outsource the actual preparation of their AAPs, this class provides a solid understanding of how best to manage the project.
