3-hr Virtual Seminar - Affirmative Action Compliance and Your Recruiting Strategy: Pulling it together

This 3-hr virtual seminar will take a deeper look at your recruiting practice and review the objective for affirmative action as it relates to this function in terms of ensuring compliance. The session also features a discussion about how to make the most of your recruiting technology so that you are prepared to meet the OFCCP’s recently heightened enforcement efforts.

Why Should You Attend:

Over the last 6 years, we seen the OFCCP become better funded, more sophisticated, and more motivated than ever to enforce affirmative action rules. Further, the changes initiated by the OFCCP have presented the greatest challenges for contractors with respect to compliance. In this new enforcement environment, government contractors are well advised to be prepared for more audits and more settlements, as there will be an aggressive increase in the OFCCP’s affirmative action enforcement efforts. From a risk perspective, your recruiting practices pose the greatest legal liability for your organization.
