SUPPLEMENTAL RECRUITMENT MEASURES:
In addition to direct job vacancy announcements and hiring procedures, we complied with the initiative outlined in the 2002 EEO Rule Sec. 73.2080(c)(2) regarding supplemental recruitment activities. For this reporting period we participated in or conducted the following:
| Activity/Description | Date | Staff Participant(s) | Sponsor Initiator |
| Menu Option #14 – Provision of training to management as to methods of ensuring equal employment opportunity and preventing discrimination. The Lotus Communications Corp. Annual Managers’ meeting was held November 5, 2019 through November 7, 2019 in Tucson, Arizona. A significant portion of the agenda was dedicated to our continuing effort to review and provided guidance and training to ensure equal opportunity and the prevention of discrimination. The Chief Compliance Officer held individual meetings with each manager reviewing and discussing on going efforts to provide equal opportunities for current and future job openings. All Menu Options were examined to determine their effectiveness and how to enhance the individual station Outreach program. The stations are encouraged to create Outreach campaigns that reach a diverse and significant segment of the community they serve. Even though it is now acceptable to meet your obligation to widely disseminate information about job openings solely through the use of online recruitment sources, Lotus requires every station unit to review recruitment lists and to inform those organizations that wish to be notified when job openings occur. A review of monthly EEO meetings were discussed. Lotus requires each station unit to conduct a monthly EEO meeting. These meetings are designed to review Lotus’ Equal Employment Opportunity policy and the importance of non- discrimination as it relates to hiring and workplace environment. Discussions also include how the station can improve upon their Outreach programs with new creative ideas on how to reach their community. Additional discussions include Public Service Announcements and their Public Affairs programming. | 11/05/2019 through 11/07/2019 | Kane Biscaya General Manager, EEO Director | |
