You are an HR Manager for a large plastics company. One of your largest customers has just secured a major office furniture contract with the federal government. Your customer wants your company to become a subcontractor in the project, making all of the plastic parts required. There is uncertainty among your organization's top officials on whether or not to become part of this project, even though it would be very lucrative. The disagreement centers around the preparation of an affirmative action plan and the goal achievement requirements imposed to correct underutilization.
In this assignment please discuss the additional EEO compliance requirements imposed on an organization when it becomes a Federal government contractor/subcontractor. Also, be sure to discuss the important components of an Affirmative Action Plan.
