HRM FPX 5025 Assessment 1 Workforce Utilization Analysis HRM-FPX5025 Talent Acquisition and Workforce Planning Workforce Utilization Analysis

Workforce utilization analysis investigates the statistical patterns of equal opportunity data within organizations. This analytical tool evaluates the availability of a company’s workforce in a specific legal context. Additionally, utilization analysis aids human resources in making informed decisions when assessing the company’s hiring needs. It is also employed in affirmative action plans that include objectives, timelines, and actionable steps.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is a federal agency dedicated to enforcing civil rights laws against workplace discrimination. The EEOC develops equal employment opportunity (EEO) policies and oversees all litigation related to equal employment opportunities. One of the key responsibilities of the EEOC is the administration of the EEO-1 survey, which is mandated by federal law. This survey requires companies to categorize employment data by race, ethnicity, gender, and job responsibilities. Private employers subject to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 with 100 or more employees, employers with fewer than 100 employees who are part of an affiliated company, and federal contractors with 50 or more employees who are not exempt under 41 CFR 60-1.5, are required to complete Standard Form 100 (EEO-1) (EEOC, 2019).

Evaluating Stock Statistics

CapraTek is a virtual company that specializes in designing and manufacturing computer server components. The company, with a 45-year history, employs nearly 1,000 individuals across various skill levels, including supervisors and management. A stock analysis collects demographic data on employees and compares it with demographic information from the company’s location. Statistics for CapraTek reveal underrepresentation of Blacks/African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and females in the employed, hired, and applied categories within both skilled and unskilled labor groups. The stock statistics show that out of a combined total of 1,240 unskilled labor applicants, new hires, and current employees, 50% are Black/African Americans, 27% are Hispanic/Latino, and 73% are female.

There were 730 applicants, with Hispanic/Latino representation at only 11%. The Hispanic/Latino group also had the lowest percentages in terms of hiring and current employment. Among Blacks/African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos, more Blacks/African Americans were hired. Despite this, Blacks/African Americans only constituted 16% of those currently employed. Although 36% of females were hired, they only represented 18% of the current workforce. The stock statistics for skilled laborers show even lower percentages across all three categories. Black/African Americans made up only 4% of those currently employed, which was 2% higher than Hispanics/Latinos. Hispanics/Latinos had the lowest hiring percentage at less than one percent.

Although 13% of females were hired, they still represent a small portion of the currently employed group. If CapraTek operates in a rural city in Georgia, where the majority of the population is white males, this could account for the low percentage of Black/African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos employed at the company. Cultural factors may also contribute to the low number of females employed at CapraTek. These statistics could potentially lead to discrimination claims and allegations of unfair hiring practices. If the company’s demographics continue to mirror those of the surrounding area, these trends may persist.
