Case Assignment

You are an HR Manager for a large plastics company. One of your largest customers has just secured a major office furniture contract with the federal government. Your customer wants your company to become a subcontractor for the project, making all of the plastic parts required. There is uncertainty among your organization's top officials about whether or not to become part of this project, even though it would be very lucrative. The disagreement centers around the preparation of an affirmative action plan and the goal achievement requirements imposed to correct underutilization.

Discuss additional EEO compliance requirements that impact a federal subcontractor. Also, be sure to discuss the important components of an affirmative action plan (expanding on the goal-setting process), and discuss how affirmative action goals should relate to an organization's strategic human resources plan.

Use at least 5 library sources to help strengthen your discussion. 

Please upload your paper by the module due date.

The paper should be at least 4-5 pages, not counting the cover and reference pages.
