Case Study: Emergent BioSolutions builds confidence in affirmative action compliance with Berkshire Associates

Emergent BioSolutions - Customer Case Study

Emergent BioSolutions, led by senior director of HR Marge Sachs, needed support managing affirmative action plans and broader HR compliance requirements as the company grew and faced an upcoming OFCCP 503 audit. With limited internal resources and no HRIS at one point in her career, Sachs relied on Berkshire Associates for affirmative action planning and compliance guidance.

Berkshire Associates provided hands-on consulting, helped prepare the team for audit readiness, and offered ongoing strategic support on potential compliance pitfalls and when to involve legal counsel. The result was strong confidence in audit preparation, including a past audit that Sachs says they passed “with flying colors,” and a long-term partnership built on responsiveness, expertise, and reliable service.
