Discovering An Affirmative Action Plan Outsourcing Firm

By Christine Turner


When it comes to administrative policies, there are a number of areas which can be contracted out to different companies, firms and individuals. One of the most common of these is Affirmative Action Plan Outsourcing. For, there are now a number of independent auditing firms or individual auditors which can provide this service at a much lower cost than when using in-house employees.

Most often firms working in this area will provide detailed reports to clients with regards to statistical analysis of employees. Then, if there are any problems with regards to the plan, the firm will often work to help clients correct such errors before a potential audit. While this is the case, it is imperative that employers provide accurate information with regards to employees.

At the time a final plan is delivered, the employer generally notifies the firm of any errors. After which, most firms will work with administrators to help eliminate the issues so that information is accurate and correct at the time of delivery. In fact, most employers work closely with a company administrator to create a plan that could pass an actual audit.

The first process in preparing a plan is known as data collection. During this phase, the firm will acquire information either through email attachments, fax or hard copy documentation. It is often recommended that both parties keep a record of any and all correspondence, reports, research and other associated information related to the client.

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 statistics have been provided by the employer, a second specialist will review the information. The peer review is to assure that all information is accurate, correct and provided in the correct format. Once the statistics have been calculated, it is important that the client confirms that the information is in line with in-house reports.

Perhaps the most important review is that of an attorney. It is also important that the attorney hired to review the documentation have experience in affirmative action and contract law. For, if this individual were to miss errors, either on part of the firm or client, it could present legal issues which could be costly for both.

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.
