Adverse impact risk continues long after hiring—the full employee lifecycle and the selection processes you employ must be carefully monitored to avoid a costly OFCCP violation. In the last of our videos on preparing for OFCCP compliance and self-certification, Stephen Caldwell and Brad Wiltshire look at monitoring your performance, promotions, and terminations processes.

In episode four of our video series, we considered the importance of reviewing hiring processes as part of your ongoing commitment to OFCCP compliance. Your other critical employee selection processes—performance, promotions, and terminations—deserve the same level of scrutiny. It’s critical that you monitor your affirmative action plans to sustain any progress made towards your placement goals by your hiring activity. After all, if protected groups enter the business but fail to advance or quit the business, you haven’t really made any progress at all!
