How can we help you?

With the OFCCP touching a larger portion of the federal contractor universe than ever before it has become critical that periodic “vulnerability audits” are conducted to ensure that your organization is void of legal exposure.

At Career Resources we believe that our clients should clearly understand that having an Affirmative Action Plan does not make them “compliant.”  It is the company’s systems, processes, and the actions of managers that are reflected in the AAP that determine whether they are compliant and will pass a federal audit or face administrative and/or financial penalties.  So logically, it is here that we initially focus our attention working with you and conducting “vulnerability audits” to ensure that your system and processes are legal and compliant and as a result your AAP will naturally be compliant.

The Career Resources Vulnerability Audit Solution Utilizes:

• A top tier team of EEO-AAP professionals that include former Department of Labor Compliance Officers, seasoned and audit tested Sr. Staff, corporate diversity experts, federal contracts experts, and legislative analysts.  Our team delivers a comprehensive suite of services and solutions using a proven methodology that involves your Human Resources staff.  The collaborative effort transfers knowledge to build your team’s expertise while it customizes the CRI solutions to your company’s requirements and objectives.

• Knowledge and experience comparable to the largest law firms – at a fraction of the cost.  The CRI solutions, developed and executed by our joint teams, ensure your compliance with all relevant regulations.  While you may still be randomly selected for audit, with the CRI Value Solution in place, your documentation, processes, AAP and AAP implementation will withstand OFCCP scrutiny.

• We monitor EEO and Affirmative Action legislation and agency enforcement trends to contribute ongoing support with regulatory bulletins, expert analysis, and up-to-the-minute alerts and recommendations throughout the year.  We work with your team on the annual update of your AAP – without the burden and cost of developing and maintaining broad EEO-AAP expertise in-house.

What are the hidden costs of not preparing an AAP or not implementing the AAP?

There are both hidden and realized costs associated with the EEO and Affirmative Action efforts of a company.  Realized costs are easy to identify and for the most part are manageable.  They are represented in time, effort, and money spent on attorneys, software, and consultants.  Hidden costs are represented by financial penalties associated with not strategically placing your time, effort, and money which far outweighs your realized cost.
