Custom OFCCP
Compliant Programs
We will review your organization’s employee data, do a deep statistical analysis, and compile your three Affirmative Action Programs satisfying your Executive Order 11246, Section 503, and VEVRAA requirements. These programs will be custom-tailored to your organization's makeup and needs.
Pre-Audit Assessment &
Statistical Analysis
Our team of mathematicians will perform a pre-audit on your organization. This will simulate the initial inquiry conducted by the OFCCP. We will determine your compliance levels as it pertains to gender, race, disability, and protected veteran status. They will be compared to your industry specific hiring pool and weighted against the available job groups as outlined by the US Census.
Consultation & Guidance
Upon the completion of the Affirmative Action Program, we will meet with your team to discuss the current state of your compliance and the level of risk your organization is exposed to. We will offer guidance and actions based on regulations and our statistical analysis.
