Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP)

The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) is part of the U.S. Department of Labor. Its main role is to ensure that companies doing business with the federal government meet laws promoting equal employment opportunity and affirmative action. This means they work to prevent discrimination and promote diversity in hiring. The OFCCP monitors and enforces compliance, conducts audits, and provides guidance to ensure that federal contractors treat all employees fairly, regardless of race, gender, disability, or other characteristics. Essentially, it aims to create a fair workplace for those employed by companies that receive federal funds.
