Discovering An Affirmative Action Plan Outsourcing Firm

By Christine Turner


When it comes to contracting, consulting and networking most employers and employees are familiar with these terms. While this is the case, Affirmative Action Plan Outsourcing is not something as familiar. Whereas, any employer regulated by affirmative action polices and procedures can often be protected and save money by using this type of service.

In most cases, these firms will provide a comprehensive review and solution with regards to analyzing the risks, strengths and opportunities in this area. Whether using a proprietary or general process, many of these firms can guide employers through every step of the process. For, it is imperative that each step of the process from data collection to client review, be provided with accurate and detailed information without errors.

Since the firm will need information about each and every employee, it is often recommended that clients request a confidentiality statement be signed by both parties. After which, the firm and client are both protected in case of an unexpected breach of data. At which time, the client and firm can work to prevent such breach from happening in the future.

The first aspect of preparing a plan is related to data collection. Whether providing personnel data on or offline, these firms can often assure that the information provided remains private. In some cases, clients and firms will go as far as signing a confidentiality statement to help assure this is the case. As a result, employer integrity and privacy is protected throughout the process by ongoing communication. Whereas, if there were to be a breach, those with a confidentiality statement will have more clout in court than otherwise.

The second phase is known as statistical analysis. In this second phase, firms provide an overall review of all information to assure accurate information has been provided for each employee. A report is then generated to reflect the data, should there be any questions or errors during this phase, most firms will work closely with employers to eliminate any errors before moving on to the next phase.

Once the statistical analysis report has been developed and proofed at the client site, a second examination often follows. In most cases, this is referred to as a peer review. For, it is imperative that all information be provided in the correct format and free of errors when submitted back to a client. In fact, some clients see this process as preparing for a future audit, whether expected or otherwise.

The last step before a client review is to have the documentation reviewed by an attorney whom works in affirmative action. It is also important that the individual be currently licensed in the State in which the client is located. For, regardless of whom may be at fault, if the client were to fail an audit, the client and firm could be at risk of legal issues such as potential fines and court costs depending on local, State and Federal law.

Finally, the client review is the last step in the process. In this phase, the firm will provide the opportunity for clients to review plans and submit any necessary additions or revisions. In most cases, firms will also provide an on-going editing service free of charge for up to six months to a year after delivery.
