1. Recruitment/Advertising - Historically our sources of recruitment have been and
continue to be: a) The wages program, b.) Florida job services, c.) Newspaper ads, d.)
Referrals from other employees and e.) Minority focused employment service agezacies
2. Hiring procedures - avoidance of bias in hiring is a natural occurrence due to the
make-up of ownership and management. Potential hirees need only complete atypical
employment application and be interviewed by a manager to discuss their experiences
and abilities.
3. Promotion procedures - promotions invariably are all done in-house. Since our make-
up is 95.37% minority, minority employees are always the first in line for promotion.
4. Training procedures - this is an ongoing and never ending process of teaching new and
innovative ways of improving operational techniques. Clericals and para professionals
and managers are often sent to seminars which add to their knowledge base of worlt
related issues and then return to train others in similar techniques.
5. Publicity - internal procedures to publicize our plan include: 1) Signage of the existence
of the plan and it's location displayed next to the employee 'timeclock, 2.) Signage of
the existance of the plan in the office where employment applicants apply for
employment, 3.) Notice of the plan is 'in all employee manuals and 4. ) review of
policies at employees annual review meetings. External procedures to publicize our plan
include: 1) prior filings and publications we have provided Miami -Dade County over
the past 26 years and 2.) Notification in filings for employment openings through the
wages programs.
6. Procurement policies - as a common practice, Greater Miami Caterers endeavors to
purchase goods and services from local suppliers who can provide top quality products
at the lowest available prices. Purchases. from minority vendors are just a continiation
of existing purchasing policies. Because of our large minority population, minority
vendors are readily available to provide the products at competitive prices so they can
participate in these actions.
