Affirmative Actions are a multitude of efforts to defeat or at least minimize discriminative employment within a workforce. Affirmative Action’s help create a diversified workforce which could help an organization. I will discuss EEO compliance requirements that impact a federal subcontractor such as, Executive Order 11246, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act.
