Customized Implementation Training

THOMAS HOUSTON associates, inc. can conduct a presentation of the completed Affirmative Action Plan (AAP) and Management Action Plan (MAP) that summarizes the effectiveness of your company's affirmative action program and the critical issues to be addressed. Direction is also provided for reviewing report results with all levels of management. The main objective of the Affirmative Action Plan Implementation Training is a clear understanding of the current status and plan year objectives of your company's affirmative action program. Communication of program status and objectives to Senior Level Management will help to satisfy the dissemination requirements of the internal audit and reporting system under 41 CFR §60-2.17(d).

The training, which may be customized to suit your company's needs, includes:

• Management Engagement - An overview that begins by stressing the importance of supporting affirmative action as a customer service issue as opposed to a government regulation issue. An overall assessment of compliance and direction for improvements is presented as well as the ramifications for non-compliance


• Report Interpretation - A detailed review of the reports included in both the Affirmative Action Plan and the Management Action Plan


• Action-Oriented Programs - Explanation of the coordination of report results, selected action-oriented programs, and the necessary tools for implementation


• Documentation Guidelines - A review of the type(s) of documentation that will result in demonstrated good faith efforts as required under 411 CFR §60-2.17(c)
