• All Encompassing Service
  BCG provides more than just a complete Affirmative Action Plan. We help clients utilize their AAP as a diagnostic tool that will provide insight into the potential problem areas that contractors need to address. See our Plan Development page for more details.
  
  
• Proper Data Preparation
  Data management is the first critical element of AAP development. It is very easy for contractors to unintentionally allow inaccurate data into an AAP. BCG takes a litigation-style approach to data. We utilize multiple tools and a tiered approach to ensure that our clients’ data is complete and accurate prior to being used in an AAP.
  
  
• Advanced Development Tools
  BCG develops thousands of Affirmative Action Plans utilizing AutoAAP^®, the longest standing AAP development software program in the industry. Developed in the latest Microsoft^® technology, our software is tested and relied upon by our internal staff as well as consultants and attorneys all over the country.
  
  
• Complete Report Process
  While it could be assumed that every EEO consultant will provide the basic AAP reports for their clients, BCG starts with the basic reports and then delivers much more. BCG knows that contractors need to communicate the results of their AAP to managers and staff who do not have the time or knowledge to read and comprehend voluminous reports.
  
  
• Supporting Audits
  Always the greatest concern among Federal Contractors, BCG supports and closes hundreds of OFCCP audits every year throughout the country with great success. See our Audit Support page for details.
  
  
• Secure Data Management
  BCG offers a unique web tool to ensure a secure environment for sharing data and reports. The web portal allows BCG and our clients to create folders, upload data and reports, and assign access to designated users.
  
  
• Additional Reference Material
  BCG offers a large variety of resources to assist clients with Audit Preparation, Plan Definitions, Understanding Adverse Impact, and more.
  
  
• Starting and Completing the AAP
  BCG uses a thorough planning process that starts with a Project Planning Meeting and finishes with a Plan Wrap-Up Meeting followed by a survey telling us how the process worked and what is needed for the client to have a robust compliance program.
  
  
• Ongoing Support
  BCG expects our working relationship with clients to function on a year-round basis. After the AAPs are delivered we conduct a plan-wrap up meeting, participate in audits, provide webinars on EEO industry hot topics, send e-mail industry updates, provide phone support for AAPs, and more.
