June 15 – Applicants with Disabilities – UNKNOWN Hidden Barriers to Risk and Poor Applicant Experience

Join BCGi as we welcome Sheridan Walker, CEO and founder of HirePotential, in a webinar that will disclose the unknown barriers and risk exposure that are affecting your recruiting efforts and provide the solution to resolve.

HirePotential surveyed 100 top diversity companies. You will be shocked by the results of the unknown risks they found!

Now many companies THINK they may have the appropriate process in place that provides full inclusion for individuals with disabilities, BUT, many don’t know the hidden barriers and unknown gaps that could lead to a loss of qualified talent, poor candidate experience and potential risk.

You won’t want to miss this webinar. Get in the know, take action and gain knowledge while learning the tools to minimize the potential risk, optimize your recruiting efforts, and provide a positive candidate experience. On this webinar you will learn what unknown exposures and hidden barriers are that affect your recruiting and compliance efforts.

Your reasons for attending the webinar:
•Give your company an insight to the hidden and unknown risks
•Understand the impact of how effective your online applicant process and statement is for your company
•Maximize your recruiting investment and compliance results
•Provide a solution to the barriers

Find out what the study revealed and that the top diversity companies have no idea of the barriers.

June 28 – Discussion of OFCCP and State-level Enforcement

It is not easy being a federal contractor and in the pay equity space, it is quickly becoming more difficult. As States begin to adopt more aggressive equal pay laws, meeting and maintaining equal pay compliance has never been more difficult. How can this be? The simple answer is that OFCCP, EEOC, and modern State equal pay laws differ in how they frame and evaluate pay equity. For federal contractors, there is no universal definition of equal pay. A federal contractor who is in compliance with OFCCP equal pay requirements may not necessarily be in compliance with State equal pay laws, and in some instances the two may be in conflict. In this webinar, we will: 1) layout the different types of pay equity requirements, and 2) describe methods to ensure you balance the three equal pay compliance requirements.

Biddle Consulting Group Continues to Expand its Staff of Experts

June 4, 2018 by Kali Roberts

BCG is pleased to announce that Clinton Kelly, Senior Consultant, has received his Ph.D. in Applied Social Psychology from Brigham Young University. Prior to completing his Ph.D., Clinton completed a Master’s Degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology from California State University, Sacramento. Throughout his career, Clinton has had a particular interest in applying the principles and theories of job analysis, test development, and test validation to address the very practical issues organizations face each day. He has found that “the increasingly complex issues our clients face with employee selection rarely fit nicely into the textbook definitions and require us to continually expand our knowledge and explore new options…I wanted to continue to grow/learn so that I could better assist with the unique situations of our clients.” Clinton’s passion for knowledge is what drove him to go back to school to seek his Ph.D. while continuing his employee selection work with clients.

For nearly 45 years, the experts at BCG have worked with organizations to provide customized solutions that improve their hiring practices, resulting not only in fair and valid tests, but tests that also provide organizations with more productive and efficient employees. As part of the BCG team, Clinton’s goal is to continue to uphold the BCG brand as experts in the field of employee selection who can provide customized solutions for organizations. Additionally, Clinton is expanding BCG’s list of solutions by leading a team of testing experts in developing off-the-shelf testing options for common job titles within specific industries. This will allow organizations to leverage BCG’s expertise in providing defensible, yet customized, employee selection solutions at a fraction of the cost.

Congratulations Clinton…we look forward to seeing your impact on this field for many years to come!

BCGi Donates Profits from 2018 Summit to the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Francisco in the Name of Charles Schwab

In April 2018, the Biddle Consulting Group Institute for Workforce Development (BCGi) hosted our third annual Summit – a conference that brings HR professionals together to hear real world experiences from the experts and to network with one another. This year’s Summit focused on the fundamentals of Equal Employment Opportunity, Affirmative Action, and diversity, providing our attendees with information that is timeless (and Administration-proof). The Summit was hosted in partnership with Charles Schwab. To thank Charles Schwab for their generosity, all profits from the Summit have been donated, in the name of the Charles Schwab Foundation, to the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Francisco.
