DIVERSIFIED WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS
William F. Scott
Mr. Scott, is the founder, President and CEO of DWS. For over three decades, working both within organizations and as a consultant, he has effectively aligned workforce resources with organizational objectives in both the public and private sectors.
As the head of our team, he brings clients not only years of senior executive expertise, but also an extraordinary depth of employee/labor-management strategy planning and labor contract collective bargaining success. Particularly notable, this success has led him and DWS to be repeatedly engaged as chief of Labor/Employees Relations planning and negotiations for large, represented workforces in federal and local governments, private industry and academia.
Since its founding in 2007, Mr. Scott has positioned DWS to focus on issue analyses and solutions across four interrelated workforce management disciplines: Organizational Development, Diversity and Inclusion, Employee/Labor-Management Relations, and Human Resource Management and policy. He has also frequently partnered DWS with several world-wide consulting firms on workforce issues, including AECOM, Parsons, CH2M Hill, Parsons Brinckerhoff, Booz Allen Hamilton.
Among his many engagements, he has developed labor-management partnerships; led executive teams through organizational realignments; engaged in intensive industry-specific research studies; developed quadrennial business reviews, strategic business plans, and heath care cost reductions. He has also provided clients with organizational studies and process management implementation.
Throughout his career, he has led significant change initiatives that include the first negotiated agreement for body-worn cameras by a unionized police force in the U.S., the first negotiated pay-for-performance fiscal policy for a unionized workforce in public transit, executive succession planning, and competency-based job evaluation programs. Additionally, he developed new EEO and civil rights initiatives and civil rights investigations to reduce complaints processing and improve the workforce environment. He has also served as a management trustee on a number of pension and health and welfare boards.
Prior to founding the firm, Mr. Scott was an Officer and Deputy General Manager at the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), the nation’s fourth-largest transit system. There, he directed all activity related to the represented and non-represented employees of the 10,000-plus workforce. His prior experience in government and academia included over a decade as a Labor Executive for the US Postal Service with a wide-ranging portfolio; and he was earlier appointed the first Labor Relations Director for Howard University and Hospital.
In other activity, Mr. Scott was one of a nine-member U.S. delegation to a Republic of China (Taiwan) conference on labor relations and practices. His formal recognitions include, the Silver Star Award for Outstanding Negotiations by the Volunteer Fire-Rescue Association; a Diversity Leadership Award; and the Presidential Citation for Distinguished Alumni Award by the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education. He is a past President of the Labor and Employment Relations Association (LERA), DC Chapter. Mr. Scott holds Bachelor and Juris Doctor Degrees.
