The final day of the NILG 2022 National Conference is upon us.  As has become  tradition, conference attendees heard from a panel of the OFCCP Regional Directors who shared insights from their respective regions and provided thoughts and recommendations for contractors.

The themes of early resolution, continued focus on systemic pay and hiring cases and increasing resources as well as cross-region coordination in audits prevailed in the RDs comments.

The Director’s reported the continued work on proactive communications and analysis by contractors is appreciated and helpful during the audit process.

Following a presentation about Thompson Island, the destination of the conference’s gala, the 2022 conference concluded with a recap discussion by the NILG’s Advisory Committee.

As this year’s conference comes to a close, we reflect on the good times reconnecting with friends, the information sharing amongst the agency and contractors and Boston’s hospitality.

We look forward to seeing everyone next year in Phoenix, Arizona!

As co-leader of the firm’s ESG group, Laura Mitchell partners with her clients to evaluate, set, achieve and monitor their organizational culture and human capital goals. She focuses her practice on data analytics, including pay equity and other employee analytics, working side-by-side with employers to build programs that benefit employees and create a stable, high-functioning workplace. Understanding that an inclusive, values-based culture provides a crucial competitive advantage in the modern workplace, Laura enjoys counseling companies on the development of proactive and equitable pay and diversity practices.

In Laura’s version of the reimagined workplace, attention to human capital issues, especially DEI and pay equity, would be the rule rather than the exception nationwide and she works with companies across all industries—both new and well-established multi-national organizations of all sizes—to realize this vision for her clients’ ongoing success. She helps clients understand all issues across the spectrum of their journey, helping to establish regular analyses as well as counseling organizations on implementation and compliance obligations, where applicable. Committed to putting her clients’ organizational goals first and foremost, Laura views herself as an extension of her clients’ team, responsible for providing proactive guidance and engaging in transparent, ongoing communication.

Laura also represents companies in OFCCP matters, preparing for and defending OFCCP audits, and counseling employers on issues stemming from OFCCP regulations. She personally oversees the development of hundreds of Affirmative Action Plans for clients each year and is intimately involved in the defense of OFCCP audits. Her approach to compliance is one of facilitation and conciliation while simultaneously advocating in the best interests of her clients.
