• Respected Relationship with the OFCCP
  Over the past 40+ years, our strong working relationship with the OFCCP in every region of the country keeps us current with the intricacies of OFCCP regulation. Our Executive Team frequently presents at OFCCP events, participates in closed-door training sessions, and has met with the OFCCP on specific client issues at both OFCCP offices and client locations. We leverage this relationship to protect our clients.
• Our Executive Team
  Since 1974, BCG's Executive Team has provided expert-level statistical testimony in over 200 employment and discrimination-related cases (with a 96% success rate in cases that go to court). This history of high-level statistical analysis drives a powerful statistical foundation in every Biddle affirmative action plan. The Executive Team has also authored several highly respected industry books, including Adverse Impact and Test Validation: A Practitioner's Guide; and Compensation Analysis: A Practitioner's Guide to Identifying and Addressing Compensation Disparities.
• Low Client Attrition & Very Happy Clients
  By far Biddle’s most valuable asset is our loyal client base. Our EEO clients are regularly surveyed to insure a high level of satisfaction and referrals from happy BCG clients comprise a major portion of our sales. Our corporate culture encourages and incentivizes BCG employees, and our content clients tell us they appreciate our friendly client support, educational resources, and, most of all, excellent AAPs that pass through OFCCP audits with flying colors.
• Best-In-Class Audit Support
  Each year, our EEO Division successfully closes hundreds of OFCCP audits for our clients and provides high-level statistical support for the clients of outside attorneys. Biddle AAPs are known to sail through audits due to excellent data integrity, which reduces exposure prior to submittal to the OFCCP. If necessary, Biddle Ph.D.s can perform adverse impact, step, and multiple regression analyses on compensation, as well as validation expertise, expert declarations, and expert witness testimony. Some audit support is included as part of each outsourcing contract. No work is ever outsourced.
• Tenured EEO Team
  BCG is an academically driven firm with a culture of unity and diversity under the umbrella of customer satisfaction. Many in the EEO Division have been with us for ten years or more. The division is comprised of EEO teams, each with a team lead and staff of analysts, all of whom are supervised by the Director of EEO Operations. Every BCG client has the benefit of working directly with a dedicated Project Manager who in turn receives behind the scenes support from our team of EEO professionals.
• Most Informed Clients In The Industry!
  Let BCG take charge of the training needed to bring HR managers up to speed on EEO compliance. BCG was the first EEO vendor to make free online HRCI-accredited EEO training available to the public through BCGi, with year-round best practices webinars to thousands of attendees including Definition of an Applicant, Introduction to Compensation Analysis, Mechanics of Regression, Preparing for an OFCCP Audit, Summary of 503 and 4212 Final Regulations, Boot Camps, and the BCGi Summit Annual Conference.
• National Speaking Circuit
  With clients in every OFCCP region, frequent keynote presentations at local and nationwide conferences, and year round training seminars through BCGi, the BCG team is one of the most recognizable in the EEO industry. You have probably seen us present at NILG, AAAED, SWARM, and SHRM.
• Beyond the AAP - Biddle Is So Much More!
  myAAP Software, TestGenius Skills Testing, OPAC Office Skills Testing Software, ENCOUNTER Soft Skills Testing, CritiCall Dispatcher Testing, C4 Contact Center Testing, AutoGOJA Job Analysis Software, and TVAP - Test Validation & Analysis Program, are just some of our products, while BCG Ph.D.s are recognized experts in advanced Compensation Analysis, Diversity Metrics, Adverse Impact Analysis, Job Analysis, and Test Validation/Development projects.
