Non-Discrimination Services

Workforce Analytics That Matter

As compliance requirements change, now more than ever companies should be monitoring their personnel activity practices to identify potential areas of risk and to defend against discrimination claims. With decades of experience in helping employers evaluate and defend their employment practices, our team of experts can help your organization evaluate whether your employment practices provide equality of opportunity for all. 

At the federal level, there is an increased focus on ensuring compliance with merit-based opportunity principles. Under new executive orders, Federal contractors will need to certify that they do not “operate any programs promoting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) that violate any applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws” as part of the government contracting process. These directives make compliance with all applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws material to the government’s payment decisions under the False Claims Act. The inclusion of a reference to the False Claims Act raises the stakes considerably, including the threat of whistleblower claims and possible treble damages.

Even for companies that do not hold federal contracts, DEI and other employment programs are a topic of much focus and scrutiny. Reviewing your selection processes to evaluate risk and your overall compliance with anti-discrimination laws is a key element of a broader strategy in today’s changing workforce environment. These analyses can help your organization chart a path forward that ensures your employment practices are free of discrimination and merit-based.  

Whether your company is a federal contractor seeking to comply with government contract certification requirements or a private employer who wants to monitor workforce and selection data to proactively identify areas of risk, our team of compliance professionals, labor economists, statisticians, and industrial psychologists can help.

We offer two services to fit your organization’s unique needs and budget:

• Non-Discrimination Workforce Analytics that help employers review their personnel activity data to ensure selection practices are not creating unintended discrimination risk.
• More detailed Non-Discrimination Assessment Services that help employers holistically evaluate their employment practices and the job-related reasons for employment decisions.
