What do you do when you get one of those letters? The ones from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that have words like "complaint" or "audit" or "investigate."
We'll rephrase that question. What should you do after you get past the initial panic attack?
Tell the boss. Call the company lawyer. Then contact someone like Maly.
This small, boutique firm, specializes in corporate compliance with affirmative action and OFCCP regulations, development and defense of AAPs (Affirmative Action Plans) and EEO data.
Now it might be wiser to call Maly Consulting before that envelope arrives. That's when the firm's consultants can help you develop a compliance plan to reduce the likelihood of ever getting that kind of letter from the EEOC or the OFFCP.
Ever since Anna Mae Maly discovered that almost no one likes all the statistical data collecting and reporting inherent in AAPs, the firm she founded 1986 has been one of the handful of 'go to" companies working in this highly specialized area.
The firm doesn't appear in the business news much. But Google Maly and you find the company has been active in commenting on proposed rules and compliance measures.
The company has offices in California, where it was founded, and in Maryland, just outside of Washington, D.C.
