The following sections describe the <br />policy and the plan for its implementation. <br />A. Plan Purpose <br />This affirmative action plan results from the County's internal review of its work <br />force and personnel practices. It is an effort to provide a written set ofresult-oriented <br />procedures ,designed to promote equal employment opportunity within Orange <br />County government. <br />The major emphasis of the affirmative action plan is to continue to apply good faith <br />efforts to seek out, employ, train and promote minorities and women within and into <br />the County's work force. <br />An effective affirmative action program not only benefits those who could have been <br />denied equal employment opportunity but also benefits the County by making <br />available the useful talents, resources and skills of minorities and women which may <br />have been underutilized. <br />B.
