In the early days of Affirmative Action Plan preparation and audits there was no desktop computers, no internet, no email, no blogs, and no website resources. It was an overwhelming amount of work to do with huge mountains of printouts on green bar paper and not a clue where to begin. It was easy to tell yourself with all the different hats you had to wear as an HR Professional you just needed to wait until you had time to sort through and figure it out. The big problem with this was you never really had the time so you kept putting it off and putting it off. In reality in the beginning we never took the time to make it important and give it the time we should have.
Unfortunately today’s Human Resource Professional falls into that crisis of being overwhelmed, feeling helpless and making the same mistake of putting it off and waiting until you have more time. With the economy of today and companies closing plants, reducing workforces, cutting budgets, combining jobs, increasing workloads, reducing pay, and slashing benefits. Today’s HR Professional is having to administer all of these negative actions and in most instances while there on staff is being reduced. When this type of trauma erupts inside a work location it becomes the top priority to maintain operations, keep morale positive, and don't let performance in any area slip.
While all these hectic things keep happening your business unit the Compliance Clock keeps ticking. Applicants, hires, promotions from, promotions to, involuntary terminations, voluntary terminations, placement rate goals for minorities, placement rate goals for females, and don't forget all the compensations actions that have occurred. Good AAP management is like SAFETY, it does not happen by accident. It requires constant data maintenance, periodic detailed audit data analysis, a clearly defined action plan with measures of what needs to be accomplished, and solid communication to your business unit decision makers on what the score is.
