Morgan helps employers turn workforce data into clear, defensible guidance for real-time risk management. With experience in HR, recruiting, and employment litigation—and direct work in DOL audits, pay‑equity reviews, DEI compliance assessments, and government reporting—she equips clients to use existing data to improve recruitment, hiring, onboarding, retention, compensation, performance management, and employee engagement, advancement, and development.
Morgan prioritizes clarity—plain‑language findings, clean visuals, and concrete options. She connects law, data, and people. Her HR background helps her spot risk early, address root causes, and document decisions that withstand scrutiny. She invests in understanding each client’s business, structure, culture, and brand, so her work advances the business case as well as the legal one.
Privileged Workforce Analytics and Compliance
Morgan translates complex legal issues into practical solutions grounded in each client’s business. She designs and interprets privileged assessments, dashboards, disparity analyses, and predictive metrics to pinpoint issues and drive solutions across the employee life cycle. She evaluates AI, algorithms, and assessments used in recruiting, testing, and performance for legal risk and strengthens related systems. She also advises on data hygiene, integration, and governance to promote data integrity and consistency.
Privileged Non-Discrimination Pay Analyses
Working with in‑house statisticians and external labor economists, Morgan conducts privileged pay analyses across industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, hospitality, construction, higher education, utilities, transportation, and retail/wholesale, among others. She isolates tainted variables and designs remediation strategies that increase transparency and reduce risk. She safeguards privilege through disciplined protocols and manages communications with care. She also advises on multi‑state pay reporting, pay transparency laws, and other state‑specific obligations.
Privileged DEI/EEO Compliance
Morgan conducts privileged qualitative and quantitative EEO and non‑discrimination audits, climate surveys, and barrier analyses, and helps build lawful EEO frameworks, training, and communications. She aligns EEO and inclusion strategies with client risk tolerance, business goals, and the current legal landscape.
Government Contracting and Reporting
Morgan counsels government contractors on federal and state requirements and designs and evaluates Section 503 and VEVRAA affirmative action programs, including multi‑site AAPs with complex job structures and functional units. She has secured favorable outcomes before the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) in investigations and compliance reviews by narrowing scope, correcting data issues, and resolving alleged indicators without on‑site escalation. She oversees EEO‑1, VETS‑4212, California pay data, and other state pay reports and advises on federal surveys from the U.S. Census Bureau, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Bureau of Economic Analysis, DOL, and Department of Defense. She helps clients interpret executive orders, regulations, and agency guidance and requests, and adapt compliance while maintaining operations.
