The Technical Services and Training Division of the Human Affairs Commission assists state agencies with the development and implementation of their affirmative action plans and affirmative action programs. The department maintains a current database on the number of persons available by race and sex who possess the requisite skills to fill positions in the various EEO categories. It provides assistance to employers who are developing and/or revising personnel policies and procedures in the areas of recruitment, hiring, compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, layoffs, recalls from layoffs, and other areas of human resource management. Assistance is also provided to private sector employers upon request. Yearly, the division determines the level of affirmative action goal attainment achieved by state agencies.
