Conference Description:
This 90-minute training on Adverse Impact Analysis will provide the right approach to preventing adverse impact and show how you can address its cause. You will learn about quantitative tools you can use to examine your employment policies and practices and proactively monitor for adverse impact.
Why Should You Attend:
The idea of adverse impact has been around for nearly 50 years. Even though the concept is widely understood, employers are still faced with hundreds of discrimination lawsuits every year. The reason for this is that employers are taking the wrong approach to preventing adverse impact. Employers spend almost $300 million and countless hours every year in seminars talking about communication, conflict resolution and diversity. While this time and money we spend on training can reduce the occurrence of intentional discrimination, it does nothing to address the causes of adverse impact.
Managing the risk of adverse impact requires examining your employment policies and practices with quantitative tools. If you aren’t proactively monitoring for adverse impact, you may not learn of a problem until it’s too late. Many employers are unaware that one of their policies or practices is creating adverse impact until they’re faced with a lawsuit.
