COLUMBIA, MD—October 18, 2011, With the announcement of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) regarding updates to Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the agency has made its focus on affirmative action efforts for individuals with disabilities a top priority—which means federal contractors and subcontractors need to be more prepared than ever.
Berkshire Associates’ latest white paper discusses the importance of recruiting and retaining individuals with disabilities, what the potential updates to Section 503 really mean, and how to remain compliant. Readers will also receive expert advice on how to prepare for the final ruling by taking the necessary steps suggested by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and a list of resources to help recruit qualified applicants with disabilities.
According to one of the authors, Misty Glorioso, PHR, “The OFCCP means business with its latest NPRM regarding affirmative action efforts for individuals with disabilities. It’s important for HR and compliance professionals to take a look at their employment practices and recruitment efforts to ensure they are prepared for the upcoming changes while meeting their outreach goals.”
