JENNIFER HANLEY

Jennifer Hanley is founder and principal of Access Consulting, a human resources consulting practice specializing in equal employment opportunity (EEO) and affirmative action planning. With a background in general strategy management consulting, Jennifer established her practice in June of 1993. Since then, Access Consulting has assisted many companies in developing effective Affirmative Action Programs. Working to minimize discrimination liability and compliance problems, Jennifer collaborates with her clients to bring them into compliance with EEO laws and affirmative action regulations.

When the Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) conducts Compliance Evaluations, many contractors seek Jennifer's assistance. Representing her clients and serving as a liaison with the OFCCP, Jennifer provides on-site support through Compliance Evaluations and reporting in compliance with Conciliation Agreements. In preparation for these Evaluations, Jennifer assists clients by conducting salary equity analyses, training management, and auditing hiring, compensation and record-keeping systems and processes. Frequently, Jennifer advises clients in the development and implementation of new and compliant systems and processes.

Jennifer has had the opportunity to work with companies taking a progressive step beyond their obligatory Affirmative Action efforts to foster a truly diverse work environment. In particular, she served as Acting EEO/Diversity Programs Manager at Sybase; in this capacity, Jennifer developed and implemented a number of EEO/diversity-related projects and programs.

Since 1998, Jennifer has served on the Steering Committee of the Northern California Industry Liaison Group (NCILG). As a partnership between the contractor community and the Department of Labor's OFCCP, the Industry Liaison Group provides a forum for communication between affirmative action professionals from the public and private sectors.
