We offer a variety of services specializing in Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action:

Affirmative Action Plans

A current and compliant Affirmative Action Plan (AAP) is a critical part of an Affirmative Action Program and a useful tool for organizational analysis. We take the mystery out of affirmative action planning and compliance. We develop customized, compliant, user-friendly Affirmative Action Plans pursuant to:

  • Executive Order 11246 (for women and minorities)

  • Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (for individuals with disabilities)

  • Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA) of 1974 (for U.S. veterans)

Pursuant to Executive Order 11246

Not all AAPs are created the same. And not all compliant AAPs are good ones. The good ones truly reflect the company. They represent an in-depth analysis of your company's workforce, its personnel activity and recruitment opportunities. Good AAPs also require client input -- because no one knows your organization as well as you do. While federal law requires that your company maintain a compliant AAP, we ensure that your AAP is customized and meaningful to your organization.

The "Executive Order 11246" Affirmative Action Plan can be a useful planning tool for Human Resources. It analyzes the racial/ethnic and gender breakdown of your organization, then compares those demographics with who is qualified and "available", and strategizes on how your company will strive to better mirror "Availability" in the future. It addresses critical personnel areas, such as recruitment, hiring, promotion and retention throughout the company. The AAP also can help your company identify potential liability issues -­ before they become crises.

We provide both the narrative and numerical analyses for a complete AAP. Or, if you would prefer to develop the 11246 AAP in house, we would be happy to offer as much guidance and instruction as you need.

We combine the following two AAPs into a single, comprehensive and easy-to-read "Affirmative Action Plan for Individuals with Disabilities, Disabled Veterans, and Veterans of the Vietnam Era".

Pursuant to Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973

Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended [29 U.S.C. 793], and the implementing regulations published at 41 CFR Part 60-741 mandate that federal contractors and subcontractors maintain a current and compliant AAP for Individuals with Disabilities.

back to top  Affirmative Action Plan for United States Veterans
Pursuant to Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA) of 1974

The Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA) of 1974, as amended [38 U.S.C. 4212], and the implementing regulations published at 41 CFR Part 60-250, mandate that federal contractors and subcontractors maintain a current and compliant AAP with respect to Vietnam era and special disabled veterans.

Nearly all of the required sections in the Individuals with Disabilities and the Veterans Affirmative Action Plans are identical. Hence, in order to minimize redundancy and to save you time, paperwork, and shelf space, we combine these two Plans into one.

No statistical analyses are required for this AAP. We provide an up-to-date, combined AAP with the required narrative sections (e.g., review of personnel processes, reasonable accommodations, harassment, dissemination, responsibility, etc.) as well as a list of recommended recruitment sources for qualified disabled individuals and veterans. In the Appendix of the Plan, we also provide an example "Post-Offer Self-Identification Form" that an employer may use to request voluntary self-identification from the company's new hires and employees.
