Overview:
In this webinar we will explore the history of affirmative action in detail. We will discuss the key principles considered when developing the legislation and regulations that provide its framework and take the time to really think about what affirmative action means for your organization today. We will begin with a comprehensive history of affirmative action where we will walk through its key principles, and current framework for developing compliant programs.
We will also discuss the current OFCCP enforcement strategies and trends so that you are well prepared to move forward as we discuss your responsibilities as a contractor and how to meet the latest regulatory challenges. This webinar prepares you for understanding what records to keep, what to watch out for, how technology is changing the game, and more in this essential webinar where we help to prepare you for the OFCCP spotlight.
Why should you attend: As a professional mandated to ensure your company's compliance initiatives stand the audit test, it's important to understand the nuances of this decision and what it means moving forward.
Since 2010, we've seen one of the most active periods of change at the OFCCP to date. The message is clear: OFCCP is better funded, more sophisticated, and more motivated than ever to aggressively enforce affirmative action rules under EO 11246. For the contractor, it is extremely important to comply with these laws or face serious repercussions. Yet, now, more than ever, remaining OFCCP compliant can be one of the toughest challenges an organization faces. With federal employment laws and agency regulatory changes evolving at an exponential rate it is vital to get and stay on top of the sizable body of information. To be prepared, you will want to join us for this in depth presentation on the history and development of affirmative action and its guiding principles so that your organization can be positioned to understand what it means to "put your best foot forward."
