1. Data Analysis for Affirmative Action Plans -- Tutorial Case available here: http://homepages.uwp.edu/crooker/44 1-so/cases/affirmative-action-case.pdf Supplement to tips given in class and agenda

2. Background - 1 With this exercise, you are analyzing your workforce relative to your local labor market – how many you use vs. how many are available by job type. As such you will be calculating: Stock Statistics – underutilization of women or minorities relative to their availability in the relevant population Concentration Statistics – concentration of women or minorities in certain job categories

3. Background - 2 I have simplified the exercise for you, only asking you to do 3 of the 10 “Form 4s” – If you can do these 3, you could do the rest – If you can’t do these 3, you wouldn’t be able to do the rest This type of analysis is commonly required of organizations (only in MUCH greater detail)

4. Background - 3 The biggest challenge with this case is figuring out what the data represents.

5. This is Form 4. You will be completing one of these for each of the assigned jobs

6. Line 1 This line is YOUR employees, the count of those you UTILIZE by gender and race

7. Line 2 This line is still YOUR employees, but converted to % - e.g., men + women must = 100%; all races must sum to 100% too

8. Line 3 This line is about the labor market, the % of workers AVAILABLE in various jobs in the relevant geographical area. This is the pool from which you hire, and your workforce is expected to reflect the gender and racial composition of the labor force available in the geographic area.

9. Line 4 When your workforce fails to reflect the gender and racial composition of the labor force available in the geographic area (% utilization is less than % available), you are said to be underutilized. You can calculate the numerical value here, but ‘yes’ or ‘no’ is adequate. If you are “underutilized” in a category, it means that you are not hiring in proportion to the gender or racial composition of the available workforce. E.g., there are more women or minorities available proportionally than you are hiring into your company. You will need to figure out the cause of this discrepancy and take remedial actions.

10. These are the people that work for YOUR company. They are YOUR employees. They are the people you UTILIZE.

11. This is a breakdown of the TOTAL of the various RACES as they are AVAILABLE in each occupation.

12. This is a breakdown of the various WOMEN by RACE as they are AVAILABLE in each occupation.

13. How do you find the number of MEN available? Calculate the difference between the TOTAL in Exhibit 1.31 and WOMEN in Exhibit 1.32

14. Always keep in mind “Utilization” is about the people you employ, your workforce, the people in your company “Available” is about the broad labor market in the geographic area that you hire from
