Discussion Topic – “Department of Labor-Affirmative Action Programs (AAP)”. AAP is located under the Department of Labor or DOL. For federal contractors and subcontractors, affirmative action must be taken by covered employers to recruit and advance qualified historically underrepresented populations, including women, persons with disabilities, and covered veterans. Affirmative actions include training programs, outreach efforts, and other positive steps. These procedures should be incorporated into the company’s written personnel policies. Employers with written affirmative action programs must implement them, keep them on file and update them annually.
Review the DOL- Affirmative Action Programs website at: https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/hiring/affirmati… (Links to an external site.)
What did you find most interesting about their website, concerning AAP’s relative to women in the workforce? Do you believe their website can provide guidance and information that will prove beneficial to you and your employer in the future? Do you believe most employers adhere to the information expressed on the DOL website? Are there any other issues you believe the DOL should address on their website? If so, what other issues or concerns?
