Promoting Diversity

by Emma Luevano

The utilization analysis is composed of four main parts:

  • The identification of job groups within the facility (job groups consist of positions with similar skills and responsibilities);
  • A workforce analysis (i.e., identifying the racial/ethnic and gender makeup of the contractor’s current and past workforce and applicants);
  • A labor market analysis (information about the number of women and other protected classes available in the labor market to fill each job category); and
  • An underutilization analysis (a comparison of personnel available with current the workforce).
  •  

To accomplish this analysis, the contractor must study the applicant flow, recruitment procedures, selection and placement procedures, promotions and transfers, seniority systems, terminations, employee benefits, and working conditions.
