Sessions

In recent years, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) compliance reviews have turned into deep-dive reviews of a federal contractor’s hiring, compensation and other EEO practices. In this session, Beth Ronnenburg, President of Berkshire Associates and longtime compliance expert, will discuss the top lessons for contractors from real-life OFCCP compliance reviews – based on her experiences helping clients navigate audits in 2021 and 2022. This session will explore OFCCP’s views on contemporary affirmative action compliance issues and will provide attendees with practical tips on how to successfully navigate an ever-changing regulatory environment. Attendees will learn how to strategically plan for a successful audit of their EEO practices using examples from recent compliance reviews in a wide range of OFCCP regions.

Learning Objectives:

• A better understanding of how OFCCP is currently reviewing federal contractors during a compliance review.
• Practical strategies for addressing unique compliance issues affecting federal contractors.
