July 7th at 10 AM | VETS 4212 Webinar
On August 1, the 2018 VETS-4212 filing period will officially begin, the reporting requirements apply to all Federal contractors and subcontractors with a government contract in the amount of $150,000 or more. And while the 2018 VETS-4212 filing is still due on or before September 30, 2018, it is important to be aware that the recent changes to the EEO-1 reporting requirements have afforded contractors a new date option for data collection. In addition to being able to select a date between July 1, 2018 and August 31, 2018 to gather employee data and the corresponding prior 12-months of new hires data, contractors may now use December 31, 2017 as the snapshot date in order to align their VETS-4212 and EEO-1 data collection efforts. Come join us as we discuss who must file, when to file, and how to file with sample forms and live pivots tables.

June 15 – Applicants with Disabilities – UNKNOWN Hidden Barriers to Risk and Poor Applicant Experience

Join BCGi as we welcome Sheridan Walker, CEO and founder of HirePotential, in a webinar that will disclose the unknown barriers and risk exposure that are affecting your recruiting efforts and provide the solution to resolve.

HirePotential surveyed 100 top diversity companies. You will be shocked by the results of the unknown risks they found!

Now many companies THINK they may have the appropriate process in place that provides full inclusion for individuals with disabilities, BUT, many don’t know the hidden barriers and unknown gaps that could lead to a loss of qualified talent, poor candidate experience and potential risk.

You won’t want to miss this webinar. Get in the know, take action and gain knowledge while learning the tools to minimize the potential risk, optimize your recruiting efforts, and provide a positive candidate experience. On this webinar you will learn what unknown exposures and hidden barriers are that affect your recruiting and compliance efforts.

Your reasons for attending the webinar:
•Give your company an insight to the hidden and unknown risks
•Understand the impact of how effective your online applicant process and statement is for your company
•Maximize your recruiting investment and compliance results
•Provide a solution to the barriers

Find out what the study revealed and that the top diversity companies have no idea of the barriers.

June 28 – Discussion of OFCCP and State-level Enforcement

It is not easy being a federal contractor and in the pay equity space, it is quickly becoming more difficult. As States begin to adopt more aggressive equal pay laws, meeting and maintaining equal pay compliance has never been more difficult. How can this be? The simple answer is that OFCCP, EEOC, and modern State equal pay laws differ in how they frame and evaluate pay equity. For federal contractors, there is no universal definition of equal pay. A federal contractor who is in compliance with OFCCP equal pay requirements may not necessarily be in compliance with State equal pay laws, and in some instances the two may be in conflict. In this webinar, we will: 1) layout the different types of pay equity requirements, and 2) describe methods to ensure you balance the three equal pay compliance requirements.

Key Takeaways: “Foundations of AAP Development”

April 9, 2018 by Diana Sicari

On March 29^th, 2018, BCGi presented a webinar on the Foundations of AAP Development. This presentation, while designed primarily for people with zero to very little AAP experience, also contained information that even seasoned professionals would find useful when brushing up on AAP regulations. We focused on the fundamentals of AAP development, as well as best practices for compliance and audit success.

While the regulations spell out exactly what reports you need, they offer little guidance on how to go about creating the reports and analyses. The first half of the webinar focused on the essential components of creating an AAP from the ground up. We covered the reports required by the regulations and also some strategic planning, such as, how to determine how many AAPs your organization needs and how to set up an availability analysis.

The second portion of the presentation focused on best practices for compliance and audit success. Not only is it imperative that your organization is consistently collecting the correct and required information it is also necessary that all your organization’s policies and personnel processes should be analyzed for compliance. To assist, we created a Best Practices Checklist (provided as a handout for this webinar). Though it won’t do the work for you, it will ensure that you’re aware of each regulatory component and it will get you thinking about what areas within your organization might need some attention.

We hope everyone enjoyed the presentation! If you missed it, don’t worry, there are plenty of other great webinars coming up! Please be sure to check the BCGi calendar!
