Fighting climate change
Hanley Consulting is committed to leveraging our Cloud telephony services to actively contribute to fighting climate change, aligning with the social value themes of PPN 06/20. Our approach focuses on reducing carbon footprints, promoting sustainability, and enabling our clients to engage in more environmentally friendly practices.
Our cloud telephony services reduce the need for physical infrastructure, which in turn lowers energy consumption and decreases the carbon emissions associated with maintaining multiple data centers and office-based telecommunication systems. By migrating to cloud-based solutions, our clients can minimize their reliance on energy-intensive hardware, contributing to significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
Moreover, supporting remote work capabilities is an integral part of our offering. By facilitating effective communication and collaboration without the necessity for commuting, our services help decrease transportation-related emissions. This not only contributes to environmental sustainability but also promotes a better work-life balance for employees, reducing overall societal carbon footprints.
Additionally, Hanley Consulting advises clients on optimizing their communication pathways and user call patterns through detailed statistical analysis. This optimization leads to more efficient operations and, importantly, helps in conserving resources by reducing unnecessary communications and streamlining processes.
We also engage in responsible corporate practices by prioritizing sustainability in our own operations. This includes choosing green technologies and suppliers wherever possible, as well as implementing policies aimed at minimizing waste and energy use within our organization.
Through these measures, Hanley Consulting not only assists clients in adopting more sustainable business models but also exemplifies the role of IT consultancy services in contributing to the global effort to combat climate change. By integrating these environmental considerations into our Cloud service provision, we help ensure a positive impact on our planet, aligning with both the objectives of PPN 06/20 and the broader goals of sustainable development.Covid-19 recovery
Hanley Consulting is dedicated to contributing to COVID-19 recovery efforts through our cloud service provision by enhancing resilience and adaptability in communication technologies. Our cloud telephony services facilitate remote work, support continuous operations, and ensure organizational resilience, crucial for recovery in the post-pandemic environment.
Firstly, our cloud-based telephony solutions enable organizations to maintain seamless communication without physical constraints. By supporting remote work configurations, we help businesses reduce office density, adhere to social distancing guidelines, and ensure employee safety, all while maintaining operational efficiency. This flexibility is vital as companies adapt to new ways of working and seek to recover from the disruptions caused by the pandemic.
Additionally, Hanley Consulting offers comprehensive staff training and support, ensuring that all employees, regardless of their technical proficiency, can effectively utilize cloud telephony systems. This democratizes access to technology and contributes to a more inclusive digital transformation, which is essential for economic recovery as it ensures that businesses can continue to operate under any circumstances.
We also provide detailed statistical analysis of user calls and pathway design, which help organizations optimize their communication strategies. This data-driven approach allows businesses to improve customer service and internal workflows, which is critical for recovery, as efficient communication is more important than ever in the current economic climate.
By offering ongoing support both on-site and remotely, Hanley Consulting ensures that our clients have continuous access to expertise and assistance, thus enabling them to quickly adapt to changes and overcome challenges that may arise during the recovery phase.
Through these services, Hanley Consulting supports not only the economic recovery of our clients but also contributes to broader efforts to restore normalcy and growth post-pandemic, aligning with the social value themes of PPN 06/20.Tackling economic inequality
Hanley Consulting is committed to addressing economic inequality through our Cloud service provision, focusing on supporting equitable access to advanced telephony cloud technologies across various socio-economic sectors. Our approach integrates several key strategies that are designed to ensure our services contribute positively to economic equality, both internally within our operations and externally among our clientele and their communities.
Firstly, we prioritize accessibility in our cloud telephony solutions, ensuring that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), non-profits, and public sector organizations can benefit from advanced technology that is often out of reach due to high costs. By offering scalable solutions, we enable these organizations to access the same high-quality services that larger corporations use, thus helping to level the playing field and fostering inclusivity.
Secondly, our consultancy services include comprehensive training programs designed to enhance digital literacy among all users, regardless of their previous technical background or economic status. This approach not only empowers individuals with new skills but also enhances their employability and productivity, contributing to broader economic development.
Furthermore, we engage in community initiatives that support local economic growth. This includes partnerships with educational institutions to provide internships and training opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds, focusing particularly on underprivileged communities. These initiatives help build a more inclusive talent pipeline in the technology sector, reducing barriers to entry and promoting upward social mobility.
In providing ongoing support, pathway design, and implementation services, Hanley Consulting actively works to ensure that these benefits are sustained over time, leading to long-term improvements in economic equality for our clients and their stakeholders.
By embedding these practices within our service provision, Hanley Consulting not only meets the criteria set forth by PPN 06/20 but also plays a crucial role in tackling economic inequality through the strategic use of technology.Equal opportunity
In line with PPN 06/20's emphasis on advancing equal opportunity, Hanley Consulting actively promotes an inclusive work environment and equitable access to employment and advancement opportunities. Our commitment to social value is deeply integrated within our Cloud service provision, particularly through our internal policies and client engagement strategies.
Our workforce demonstrates gender parity with a 50/50 male-to-female ratio, and we are proudly led by a female owner, reflecting our dedication to breaking industry norms and promoting women in technology and leadership roles. We extend this commitment to equality through our recruitment practices by ensuring bias-free hiring processes and actively seeking out underrepresented talents in the tech sector. Furthermore, Hanley Consulting provides comprehensive training and career development programs that support not only skill enhancement but also leadership opportunities for all employees, regardless of gender, background, or disability.
In our client engagements, particularly in projects involving the migration to and implementation of cloud telephony services, we ensure our solutions are accessible and beneficial to a diverse range of users. This includes designing user interfaces that are accessible to individuals with disabilities and providing training materials in various formats to cater to different learning needs and preferences.
Moreover, by facilitating efficient cloud-based communication solutions, Hanley Consulting supports clients in creating more flexible, inclusive workplaces that can accommodate a variety of working styles and personal circumstances, thus promoting equal employment opportunities across different sectors.
By embodying these principles within our core business practices, Hanley Consulting not only adheres to the Social Value model proposed in PPN 06/20 but also serves as an exemplar of how businesses can effectively contribute to a more equitable society through thoughtful and inclusive service provision.Wellbeing

Flexibility and Work-Life Balance: Our cloud telephony services facilitate flexible working arrangements, allowing employees to work remotely or from multiple locations with ease. This flexibility significantly contributes to improved work-life balance, reducing commute times and enabling employees to manage personal and professional commitments more effectively.

We provide comprehensive training and ongoing support to ensure users are comfortable and proficient with the technology, which contributes to a more positive and productive work atmosphere.

This not only helps protect physical health but also provides peace of mind to employees and their families.
Inclusivity and Accessibility: We are committed to making our technology accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. Our cloud solutions comply with accessibility standards, ensuring that everyone can participate fully and equitably.
By integrating these elements into our service delivery, Hanley Consulting not only enhances the operational capabilities of public sector entities but also significantly contributes to the wellbeing of their employees.
