Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Summary of suggested answer - It is a three-step process involving a utilization analysis, setting goals and timetables, and finally the plan itself. Utilization analysis involves determining the demographic composition of the current workforce, then determining the percentage of protected class workers within that labor market, and comparing the two sets of data. (See page 102, Figure 3-7, for the components of the eight-factor availability analysis.) Setting goals and timetables is simply determining the timeframe and degree of correcting the underutilization. The action plan may involve recruiting, job redesign, specialized training for underprepared applicants, and removing unnecessary barriers.
