Human Resource Planning
Human Resource Planning forms the basis for all other
activities conducted during staffing. When we completely
consider our staffing needs and how those needs fit with the
external environment, it will become much simpler to recruit
the right number and type of candidates, develop methods for
selecting the right candidates, and evaluate whether the process
was successful (Heneman III, Judge, & Kammeyer-Mueller,
2015).
Exhibit 1: Model of Recruitment Process (Breaugh,
2009)Research Labor Supply and Demand
After identifying our KSAOs, the next step is to take a look at
some of the internal and external influences on our planning
process, specifically labor market conditions both nationally
and locally. This type of information gathering can be done
online is at the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS)website, as
well as O*Net, which is an online resource center sponsored by
the Department of Labor. There are also links embedded within
this site that link to regional and local area information. Some
of tThe information in the tables below was gathered for our job
analysis and will help us in determining labor supply for the
6. positions that we are hiring for the client. The tables below

Table 2: State Trends (BLS, OES)
There are also other reports that can give you specific
demographic information for specific geographical areas. From
this type of information, you can determine if there will be a
diverse labor supply in the area that you will be recruiting. The
information gathered about the North Florida recruiting area
shows a strong diverse labor supply. T with the largest groupis
being women at 51.1% of the population. and tThe Hispanic
group is rising at 26.1% (O*Net, 2019).
There are also labor demand reports which can be sorted and
viewed by job market as theyit relates to education requirements
around KSAOs being reported. The trend shows that there will
be increasing demand for college degrees and technical
certifications over the next ten years. There was aAlso,
information that sales jobs are the second highest projected type
of employment for the North Florida area (O*Net, 2019).
Seeking Requirements from Others
In establishing recruitment objectives, HR professionals should
9. make sure to seek input from others who may have valuable
insight to contribute. For example, an HR manager in charge of
employee selection may have information to share about the
skills that should be targeted. You should also seek input from
functional managers who will be working with newly hired
employees. These managers will have specific information
about each job that should be communicated to applicants. By
getting input from outside the HR department, you will have
additional information to improve the recruitment process, and
you will also develop allies who will support the actions taken
by HR during the process (Breaugh, 2009). Comment by
Turner, Allison J.: Maybe mention “through the recruitment
posting” or “in the position description” ? Recruiting Objectives
After gathering and analyzing the information from external
resources, it is time to evaluate expected demand. This demand
is based on our client’s future plans. Also, and the supply and
availability of staff, internally and externally, are reviewed to
determine if they to can meet these demands. Internally,
organizations are impacted by turnover and retirements.
Externally, they are impacted by changes in technology,
changes in the economy, and changes in the industry. Also,
and consumer demand that may require skills that do not
currently exist within the company. All of these impacts have an
effect on the type and numbers of employees that are needed for
the organization to have a successful recruitment process
(Richards, Leigh, 2018). Comment by Turner, Allison J.: Of
what? Not sure this makes sense. Whats the demand that
someone doesn’t have skills for?
(Need to insert our recruiting objectives here)
Establishing Recruitment Objectives
• Number of open positions to be filled.
• Date by which positions should be filled
• Number of applications desired.
• Type of applicants sought:
– Level of education.
– Knowledge, skills and abilities.
10. – interests and values.

information about different job requirements and
responsibilities that can be used to create the job descriptions

Create Value using Employment Brand
Using your employment brand can help in the recruitment
process. According to an article written in SHRM 2008 Staffing
Research titled “The Employer Brand: A Strategic Tool to
15. Attract, Recruit, and Retain Talent”, “an organization’s brand is
“how the organization wants prospective and current employees
to see the company” and should be considered in establishing
the values you’re seeking in recruits—values that match those
of the organization. But tTo use your employment brand
effectively, it must be authentic. If it lacks authenticity, new
hires are likely to feel deceived, creating morale problems and
new employee turnover. In addition to accurately describing
accurately what employment with your firm means, it is also
critical that the brand be visible to prospective recruits.
There are several strategies for communicating your employer
brand: highlight the brand on your web site, describe it in
recruitment literature, or sponsor college campus events. You
may also influence a recruit’s view of your brand by the way
you treat prospective employees during the application process
and interviews. Exhibit 2 suggests—based on reports from HR
managers, that use of the employer brand can be quite beneficial
(Breaugh, 2009)
Exhibit 2: Branding Strategy (Breaugh, 2009)
Where to Recruit
The next consideration that should be part of the strategy is to
determine where to recruit. Career Websites, such as
Monster.com or Indeed.com, provide a pool of potential
candidates with their resume information at the recruiter’s
fingertips. LinkedIn is another popular professional social
media platform for professional networking and recruiting.
These are affordable methods that reach a very large pool of
potential candidates quickly. Comment by Turner, Allison J.:
Try not to repeat words within one sentence
Social Media has become another popular and available
recruitment source. Spreading the word about the company on
social media will ensure it reaches even more potential
candidates. The company can develop a social media presence
to show the potential candidates a little about their culture.
Sharing things like community/industry news, and what makes
the company different will help give prospective candidates an
16. opportunity to see if they will fit in. Recruiters can share the
links from their own social media accounts to help spread the
word. These links should take the potential candidate to the
company website and careers page to make applying easy.
Organizations should not discount their existing employee
networks for recruiting. Current employees provide a vast pool
of potential candidates. Current employees already know what it
takes to work at the company, so they are often able to
recommend candidates that meet the criteria. Asking existing
employees for referrals will speed up the process of finding and
vetting potential new employees. Offering incentives for
referring qualified candidates can also help motivate existing
employees to refer quality personnel.
Last but not least, Career Fairs can draw large quantities of
prospective candidates. These fairs can be on site at the call
center, a local venue, or at a local college campus. Most
colleges allow companies to recruit at career fairs. Students
visiting these events are looking for opportunities and advice
about different career options. Having alumni at the event will
help the organization connect with the students and might make
them more receptive to joining to company (Iyoob, 2016).
Preliminary Applicant Stage
-Initial look at application, using keywords reflecting
KSAO’s, with a focus on similar job experience along with
higher education.
-Once applicant is accepted or notified that their
application is no longer under review, considered applicants
will move to the secondary stage of screening.
Secondary Applicant Stage
· Applicants will be notified that they are still being considered
and prompted to take a few tests that will take less than an hour
to complete. These tests consist of the following:
1. Criteria Cognitive Aptitude Test (CCAT)- measures aptitude,
problem- solving abilities, skill learning capabilities for job
growth and development, and critical thinking. This test is 50
17. questions and requires around 15 minutes.
2. Numerical Reasoning Test- This test measures basic
mathematics to high level numerical critical reasoning.
3. Verbal Reasoning Test- This test will measure the applicant’s
English language skills
· Data from these tests will be gathered to show applicant’s
strengths “on paper” for employer consideration and
determination for applicant job placement
Tertiary Applicant Stage
-Once applicants filter through the Secondary Applicant
Stage, they will be notified if still being considered that they
can expect a digital interview consisting of four of the
following timed and recorded questions:
1. (Five minutes) Please describe a recent situation in which
you worked with an irate customer, and what did you do to
deescalate and satisfy the customer.
2. (Five Minutes) Please describe a recent situation in which
you worked with an upset fellow employee, and what you did to
deescalate the situation or make the employee feel better?
3. (three minutes) Please list three strengths that you possess.
4. (Three minutes) Please list a weakness that you possess and
how you would like to work on strengthening this weakness.
Data gathered from this short interview will give a sampling of
the applicant’s strengths, an opportunity for growth, and a
display of charisma towards critical thinking and problem-
solving skills.
Final Applicant Stage
-In person half hour interview with hiring staff so that
applicant can further highlight charisma, and an impression on
how applicant will fit in with staffing.
-Final detailed background check for company and fellow
employee safety
The Economic Impact of our Advice
The recruitment process is always an extended one that requires
18. the assistance of both human resources and finances for hiring
competent candidates. The hiring of employees is a costly
process but if it is managed and strategically designed, than the
cost associated with this process can be minimized (Anne-
Mette Sivertzen, 2013 ). In this report, it is highlighted how
social media and online recruitment sites are used for
advertisement of the job opening. By using social media, the
company directly hires employees through the job post. But at
different sites like monster.com, the company have to some
minimal fees for the job add. Furthermore, the option of tThe
job fair is best because the company can directly hire a
candidate from their colleges. Hence, no cost is associated with.
Screening test applied some cost at the company. Comment by
Turner, Allison J.: Rewrite- misspellings don’t make sense
Comment by Turner, Allison J.: Rewrite-misspellings don’
make sense
From the analysis of all recruitment strategies, it is analyzed
that the ways that are adopted for recruitment are economical
that does not involve any major financial transaction. Hence, it
lowers the cost of recruitment that is normal some thousand
dollars if it goes through a traditional recruitment process. But
here the online mode of advertisement and job fair are the best
options that are easily approachable and have an economic
effect also (Richard Rutter, 2016 ). Thus, tThis project has a
good economic impact on the company. Because tThey are not
wasting their financial resources on hiring a new employee.
andTas these resources can be used in another way, such as on
the training of newly hired employees. Comment by Turner,
Allison J.: Have someone assist with editing this, they don’t
make sense
Describe the job with concern for EEO and ADA-essential job
duties Comment by Turner, Allison J.: Probably not the best
word. It has a negative connotation when EEO and ADA should
actually not be considered bad.
Essential functions are the basic job duties that an employee
19. must be able to perform, with or without reasonable
accommodation. You should carefully examine each job to
determine which functions or tasks are essential to performance.
(This is particularly important before taking an employment
action such as recruiting, advertising, hiring, promoting or
firing).
Factors to consider in determining if a function is essential
include:
· whether the reason the position exists is to perform that
function,
· the number of other employees available to perform the
function or among whom the performance of the function can be
distributed, and
· the degree of expertise or skill required to perform the
function.
Your judgment as to which functions are essential, and a written
job description prepared before advertising or interviewing for a
job will be considered by EEOC as evidence of essential
functions. Other kinds of evidence that EEOC will consider
include:
· The actual work experience of present or past employees in
the job,
· The time spent performing a function,
· The consequences of not requiring that an employee perform a
function, and
· The terms of a collective bargaining agreement.
The responsibility of the company and the concerns surrounding
EEO and ADA are making sure that the company supplies
reasonable accommodations to properly equip the associates to
perform the essential roles and responsibilities of the job
20. function. Comment by Turner, Allison J.: Again, probably not
the best word. It has a negative connotation when EEO and
ADA should actually not be considered bad.
· acquiring or modifying equipment or devices,
· job restructuring,
· part-time or modified work schedules,
· reassignment to a vacant position,
· adjusting or modifying examinations, training materials or
policies,
· providing readers and interpreters, and
· making the workplace readily accessible to and usable by
people with disabilities.
Reasonable accommodation also must be made to enable an
individual with a disability to participate in the application
process and to enjoy benefits and privileges of employment
equal to those available to other employees.
According to the E.O. 11246 regulations, the required elements
of a non-construction AAP are the following: Comment by
Turner, Allison J.: Add info here…what’s an AAP? Reader
needs to be told
Organizational display. A detailed graphic, chart, spreadsheet or
other presentation of contractor's organizational structure. "The
organizational display must identify each organizational unity
in the establishment, and show the relationship of each
organizational unity to the other organizational units in the
establishment. Comment by Turner, Allison J.: Above it states
NON-CONSTRUCTION but here is states CONTRACTOR
which sounds like construction to me? I read them and these
apply to ALL AAPs, not just construction/nonconstruction
Workforce analysis. "A workforce analysis is a listing of each
job title as it appears in applicable collective bargaining
agreements or payroll records ranked from the lowest paid to
the highest paid within each department or other similar
organizational unity including departmental or unit supervision"
21. (41 C.FR. §60-2.11(c)).
Job group analysis. Contractors group jobs that have similar
duties and responsibility, wage rates, and similar opportunities
for training, transfer, promotions, pay, mobility and other career
enhancement opportunities (41 C.F.R. §60-2.12). Comment by
Turner, Allison J.:
Utilization analysis.
Placement of incumbents in job groups. "The contractor must
separately state the percentage of minorities and the percentage
of women it employs in each job group established" (41 C.F.R.
§60-2.13). Comment by Turner, Allison J.:
Determining availability. Contractors must determine
availability of minorities and women for each job group.
According to the DOL's Technical Assistance Guide of 2009,
"Availability is a percentage estimate of the women and
minorities who have the skills required to perform the jobs
within the job groups. To determine the availability
percentages, contractors are required to consider two factors.
These factors reflect availability outside the contractor's
workforce (such as people in the immediate labor area or
reasonable recruitment areas), and availability inside the
contractor's own workforce (such as people who are qualified

often use government resources such as the U.S. Census
Bureau's EEO Tabulation, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics'
(BLS) Current Population Survey and state employment service
data to obtain estimated availability data. See 41 C.F.R §60-
2.14.Comment by Turner, Allison J.: Comment by Turner,
Allison J.:
Comparing availability to incumbency. "The contractor must
compare the percentage of minorities and women in each job
group with the availability for those job groups" (41 C.F.R.
§60-2.15). This section will help determine which job groups
employ too few females or minorities and need placement goals.

Abstract Comment by Turner, Allison J.: I am recommending
to all of the groups to add a brief conclusion at the end. It will
summarize the basics of what this research project covered.
In this paper, it is discussed that how staffing and recruitment
takes place and what prominent point a recruiter must keep in
mind while going through this process. The HR manager must
research the KSAO’s so that they come to know what theiris
labor market demand and supply of their respective labor in the
market. Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) and O*Net help
them to find these statistics. Before recruiting for a position, the
skills, abilities and educational background must be defined so
that it is easy for them to target potential candidates. Using the
information fromat the O*Net and BLS, job descriptions, job
briefs, and job responsibilitiesy must be properly defined.
Online advertising on the brand page is a good way of treating
prospective employees for interviews and application. Social
media is a good source of recruiting candidate. Recruitment
through a social media page of a company fosters a good impact
on the candidate and they come to know about the culture of the
25. company. Comment by Turner, Allison J.: reword Comment by

28. Human Resource Planning
Human Resource Planning forms the basis for all other
activities conducted during staffing. When we completely
consider our staffing needs and how those needs fit with the
external environment, it will become much simpler to recruit
the right number and type of candidates, develop methods for
selecting the right candidates, and evaluate whether the process
was successful (Heneman III, Judge, & Kammeyer-Mueller,
2015).
Exhibit 1: Model of Recruitment Process (Breaugh,
2009)Research Labor Supply and Demand
After identifying our KSAOs, the next step is to take a look at
some of the internal and external influences on our planning
process, specifically labor market conditions both nationally
and locally. This type of information gathering can be done
online is at the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS)website, as
well as O*Net, which is an online resource center sponsored by
the Department of Labor. There are also links embedded within
this site that link to regional and local area information. Some
of tThe information in the tables below was gathered for our job
analysis and will help us in determining labor supply for the
positions that we are hiring for the client. The tables below

Table 2: State Trends (BLS, OES)
There are also other reports that can give you specific
demographic information for specific geographical areas. From
this type of information, you can determine if there will be a
diverse labor supply in the area that you will be recruiting. The
information gathered about the North Florida recruiting area
shows a strong diverse labor supply. T with the largest groupis
being women at 51.1% of the population. and tThe Hispanic
group is rising at 26.1% (O*Net, 2019).
There are also labor demand reports which can be sorted and
viewed by job market as theyit relates to education requirements
around KSAOs being reported. The trend shows that there will
be increasing demand for college degrees and technical
certifications over the next ten years. There was aAlso,
information that sales jobs are the second highest projected type
of employment for the North Florida area (O*Net, 2019).
Seeking Requirements from Others
In establishing recruitment objectives, HR professionals should
make sure to seek input from others who may have valuable
insight to contribute. For example, an HR manager in charge of
employee selection may have information to share about the
skills that should be targeted. You should also seek input from
functional managers who will be working with newly hired
employees. These managers will have specific information
about each job that should be communicated to applicants. By
getting input from outside the HR department, you will have
additional information to improve the recruitment process, and
you will also develop allies who will support the actions taken
by HR during the process (Breaugh, 2009). Comment by
Turner, Allison J.: Maybe mention “through the recruitment
posting” or “in the position description” ? Recruiting Objectives
After gathering and analyzing the information from external
32. resources, it is time to evaluate expected demand. This demand
is based on our client’s future plans. Also, and the supply and
availability of staff, internally and externally, are reviewed to
determine if they to can meet these demands. Internally,
organizations are impacted by turnover and retirements.
Externally, they are impacted by changes in technology,
changes in the economy, and changes in the industry. Also,
and consumer demand that may require skills that do not
currently exist within the company. All of these impacts have an
effect on the type and numbers of employees that are needed for
the organization to have a successful recruitment process
(Richards, Leigh, 2018). Comment by Turner, Allison J.: Of
what? Not sure this makes sense. Whats the demand that
someone doesn’t have skills for?
(Need to insert our recruiting objectives here)
Establishing Recruitment Objectives
• Number of open positions to be filled.
• Date by which positions should be filled
• Number of applications desired.
• Type of applicants sought:

Figure 4: Job Analysis: Sales Associate (O*Net)
Create Value using Employment Brand
Using your employment brand can help in the recruitment
process. According to an article written in SHRM 2008 Staffing
Research titled “The Employer Brand: A Strategic Tool to
Attract, Recruit, and Retain Talent”, “an organization’s brand is
“how the organization wants prospective and current employees
to see the company” and should be considered in establishing
the values you’re seeking in recruits—values that match those
of the organization. But tTo use your employment brand
effectively, it must be authentic. If it lacks authenticity, new
hires are likely to feel deceived, creating morale problems and
new employee turnover. In addition to accurately describing
accurately what employment with your firm means, it is also
critical that the brand be visible to prospective recruits.
There are several strategies for communicating your employer
brand: highlight the brand on your web site, describe it in
recruitment literature, or sponsor college campus events. You
may also influence a recruit’s view of your brand by the way
38. you treat prospective employees during the application process
and interviews. Exhibit 2 suggests—based on reports from HR
managers, that use of the employer brand can be quite beneficial
(Breaugh, 2009)
Exhibit 2: Branding Strategy (Breaugh, 2009)
Where to Recruit
The next consideration that should be part of the strategy is to
determine where to recruit. Career Websites, such as
Monster.com or Indeed.com, provide a pool of potential
candidates with their resume information at the recruiter’s
fingertips. LinkedIn is another popular professional social
media platform for professional networking and recruiting.
These are affordable methods that reach a very large pool of
potential candidates quickly. Comment by Turner, Allison J.:
Try not to repeat words within one sentence
Social Media has become another popular and available
recruitment source. Spreading the word about the company on
social media will ensure it reaches even more potential
candidates. The company can develop a social media presence
to show the potential candidates a little about their culture.
Sharing things like community/industry news, and what makes
the company different will help give prospective candidates an
opportunity to see if they will fit in. Recruiters can share the
links from their own social media accounts to help spread the
word. These links should take the potential candidate to the
company website and careers page to make applying easy.
Organizations should not discount their existing employee
networks for recruiting. Current employees provide a vast pool
of potential candidates. Current employees already know what it
takes to work at the company, so they are often able to
recommend candidates that meet the criteria. Asking existing
employees for referrals will speed up the process of finding and
vetting potential new employees. Offering incentives for
referring qualified candidates can also help motivate existing
employees to refer quality personnel.
Last but not least, Career Fairs can draw large quantities of
39. prospective candidates. These fairs can be on site at the call
center, a local venue, or at a local college campus. Most
colleges allow companies to recruit at career fairs. Students
visiting these events are looking for opportunities and advice
about different career options. Having alumni at the event will
help the organization connect with the students and might make
them more receptive to joining to company (Iyoob, 2016).
Preliminary Applicant Stage
-Initial look at application, using keywords reflecting
KSAO’s, with a focus on similar job experience along with
higher education.
-Once applicant is accepted or notified that their
application is no longer under review, considered applicants
will move to the secondary stage of screening.
Secondary Applicant Stage
· Applicants will be notified that they are still being considered
and prompted to take a few tests that will take less than an hour
to complete. These tests consist of the following:
1. Criteria Cognitive Aptitude Test (CCAT)- measures aptitude,
problem- solving abilities, skill learning capabilities for job
growth and development, and critical thinking. This test is 50
questions and requires around 15 minutes.
2. Numerical Reasoning Test- This test measures basic
mathematics to high level numerical critical reasoning.
3. Verbal Reasoning Test- This test will measure the applicant’s
English language skills
· Data from these tests will be gathered to show applicant’s
strengths “on paper” for employer consideration and
determination for applicant job placement
Tertiary Applicant Stage
-Once applicants filter through the Secondary Applicant
Stage, they will be notified if still being considered that they
can expect a digital interview consisting of four of the
following timed and recorded questions:
1. (Five minutes) Please describe a recent situation in which
40. you worked with an irate customer, and what did you do to
deescalate and satisfy the customer.
2. (Five Minutes) Please describe a recent situation in which
you worked with an upset fellow employee, and what you did to
deescalate the situation or make the employee feel better?
3. (three minutes) Please list three strengths that you possess.
4. (Three minutes) Please list a weakness that you possess and
how you would like to work on strengthening this weakness.
Data gathered from this short interview will give a sampling of
the applicant’s strengths, an opportunity for growth, and a
display of charisma towards critical thinking and problem-
solving skills.
Final Applicant Stage
-In person half hour interview with hiring staff so that
applicant can further highlight charisma, and an impression on
how applicant will fit in with staffing.
-Final detailed background check for company and fellow
employee safety
The Economic Impact of our Advice
The recruitment process is always an extended one that requires
the assistance of both human resources and finances for hiring
competent candidates. The hiring of employees is a costly
process but if it is managed and strategically designed, than the
cost associated with this process can be minimized (Anne-
Mette Sivertzen, 2013 ). In this report, it is highlighted how
social media and online recruitment sites are used for
advertisement of the job opening. By using social media, the
company directly hires employees through the job post. But at
different sites like monster.com, the company have to some
minimal fees for the job add. Furthermore, the option of tThe
job fair is best because the company can directly hire a
candidate from their colleges. Hence, no cost is associated with.
Screening test applied some cost at the company. Comment by
Turner, Allison J.: Rewrite- misspellings don’t make sense
41. Comment by Turner, Allison J.: Rewrite-misspellings don’
make sense
From the analysis of all recruitment strategies, it is analyzed
that the ways that are adopted for recruitment are economical
that does not involve any major financial transaction. Hence, it
lowers the cost of recruitment that is normal some thousand
dollars if it goes through a traditional recruitment process. But
here the online mode of advertisement and job fair are the best
options that are easily approachable and have an economic
effect also (Richard Rutter, 2016 ). Thus, tThis project has a
good economic impact on the company. Because tThey are not
wasting their financial resources on hiring a new employee.
andTas these resources can be used in another way, such as on
the training of newly hired employees. Comment by Turner,
Allison J.: Have someone assist with editing this, they don’t
make sense
Describe the job with concern for EEO and ADA-essential job
duties Comment by Turner, Allison J.: Probably not the best
word. It has a negative connotation when EEO and ADA should
actually not be considered bad.
Essential functions are the basic job duties that an employee
must be able to perform, with or without reasonable
accommodation. You should carefully examine each job to
determine which functions or tasks are essential to performance.
(This is particularly important before taking an employment
action such as recruiting, advertising, hiring, promoting or
firing).
Factors to consider in determining if a function is essential
include:
· whether the reason the position exists is to perform that
function,
· the number of other employees available to perform the
function or among whom the performance of the function can be
42. distributed, and
· the degree of expertise or skill required to perform the
function.
Your judgment as to which functions are essential, and a written
job description prepared before advertising or interviewing for a
job will be considered by EEOC as evidence of essential
functions. Other kinds of evidence that EEOC will consider
include:
· The actual work experience of present or past employees in
the job,
· The time spent performing a function,
· The consequences of not requiring that an employee perform a
function, and
· The terms of a collective bargaining agreement.
The responsibility of the company and the concerns surrounding
EEO and ADA are making sure that the company supplies
reasonable accommodations to properly equip the associates to
perform the essential roles and responsibilities of the job
function. Comment by Turner, Allison J.: Again, probably not
the best word. It has a negative connotation when EEO and
ADA should actually not be considered bad.
· acquiring or modifying equipment or devices,
· job restructuring,
· part-time or modified work schedules,
· reassignment to a vacant position,
· adjusting or modifying examinations, training materials or
policies,
· providing readers and interpreters, and
· making the workplace readily accessible to and usable by
people with disabilities.
Reasonable accommodation also must be made to enable an
43. individual with a disability to participate in the application
process and to enjoy benefits and privileges of employment
equal to those available to other employees.
According to the E.O. 11246 regulations, the required elements
of a non-construction AAP are the following: Comment by
Turner, Allison J.: Add info here…what’s an AAP? Reader
needs to be told
Organizational display. A detailed graphic, chart, spreadsheet or
other presentation of contractor's organizational structure. "The
organizational display must identify each organizational unity
in the establishment, and show the relationship of each
organizational unity to the other organizational units in the
establishment. Comment by Turner, Allison J.: Above it states
NON-CONSTRUCTION but here is states CONTRACTOR
which sounds like construction to me? I read them and these
apply to ALL AAPs, not just construction/nonconstruction
Workforce analysis. "A workforce analysis is a listing of each
job title as it appears in applicable collective bargaining
agreements or payroll records ranked from the lowest paid to
the highest paid within each department or other similar
organizational unity including departmental or unit supervision"
(41 C.FR. §60-2.11(c)).
Job group analysis. Contractors group jobs that have similar
duties and responsibility, wage rates, and similar opportunities
for training, transfer, promotions, pay, mobility and other career
enhancement opportunities (41 C.F.R. §60-2.12). Comment by
Turner, Allison J.:
Utilization analysis.
Placement of incumbents in job groups. "The contractor must
separately state the percentage of minorities and the percentage
of women it employs in each job group established" (41 C.F.R.
§60-2.13). Comment by Turner, Allison J.:
Determining availability. Contractors must determine
availability of minorities and women for each job group.
According to the DOL's Technical Assistance Guide of 2009,
44. "Availability is a percentage estimate of the women and
minorities who have the skills required to perform the jobs
within the job groups. To determine the availability
percentages, contractors are required to consider two factors.
These factors reflect availability outside the contractor's
workforce (such as people in the immediate labor area or
reasonable recruitment areas), and availability inside the
contractor's own workforce (such as people who are qualified
and available via transfer, promotion, or training)." Contractors
often use government resources such as the U.S. Census
Bureau's EEO Tabulation, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics'
(BLS) Current Population Survey and state employment service
data to obtain estimated availability data. See 41 C.F.R §60-
2.14.Comment by Turner, Allison J.: Comment by Turner,
Allison J.:
Comparing availability to incumbency. "The contractor must
compare the percentage of minorities and women in each job
group with the availability for those job groups" (41 C.F.R.
§60-2.15). This section will help determine which job groups
employ too few females or minorities and need placement goals.
