Kairos Consulting Services

There are many aspects of a business outside of the services it provides and its customers. But many business owners and managers need more experience regarding critical legal factors of compliance.

That’s why Kairos Services Inc. provides consulting services in various areas to help companies meet their compliance and regulatory needs. Instead of sorting through all the industry terms and requirements, Kairos’ consulting services will offer valuable insight and experience regarding your company’s compliance.

Our consulting services include but are not limited to, consulting with Affirmative Action Plans (AAPs), Equal Employment Opportunity, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), and more.

OFCCP Services

The OFCCP protects workers, promotes diversity, and enforces the law. Anyone who does business with the federal government, like a contractor or subcontractor, must comply with the federal legal requirements of taking affirmative action and not discriminate based on race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, national origin, disability, veteran status, or other legally protected status.

If a federal government contractor or subcontractor is found to have discriminated against employees or have discriminatory hiring or wage practices, they could jeopardize their federal contracts and face harsher penalties from the OFCCP. Kairos Services Inc. is familiar and experienced with the OFCCP and how they operate, so we can offer valuable compliance services, including the following:

• Conduct a mock OFCCP audit to identify problem areas of potential discrimination and develop corrective action plans.
• Assist in investigating OFCCP and EEOC complaints and preparing written responses.
• Represent contractors at negotiation/conciliation meetings with OFCCP.
• Review policies and procedures for compliance with Federal contractor regulatory requirements.

AAP Services

The OFCCP also enforces an obligation on contractors and subcontractors to take action to ensure that applicants and employees are treated with respect and without regard to their race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, national origin, disability, veteran status, or other legally protected status. An AAP is a plan or program that outlines the contractor or subcontractor’s plan to provide equal opportunity and support for advancing protected-class employees.

If a contractor is found to have violations or needs to be more sufficient in creating a workforce that reflects the demographics of the qualified workforce and applicant pool, the contractor may have to take specific steps to remedy the imbalance and become compliant. Action oriented program development takes efforts take up valuable business time and resources, so instead, Kairos consulting services can help ensure your AAP is effective and compliant with regulations. Kairos AAP services include:

• Research issues related to affirmative action and EEO.
• AAP compliance reviews.
• Prepare Summary Reports identifying non-compliant areas and other areas of concern, along with recommendations for corrective action.
• Review employment ads, recruiting source letters, job postings, job descriptions, application forms, employment offer letters, self-identification documents, purchase orders, new hire orientation documents, exit interview forms, I-9 forms, and related documents and record-keeping processes for compliance with regulatory requirements.
• Prepare outreach Kairos letters for minority and female recruitment and community sources.
• Assist clients with other areas of concern.
