Abstract: Employment decision processes are always made in the context of equal employment opportunity. These decisions may relate to hiring, promotion, termination, pay, and other scenarios that produce positive outcomes for some candidates and negative outcomes for others.   The policies and processes used to make these decisions may be alleged to discriminate against members of protected groups in a number of ways. This situation is only complicated by the fact that many procedures for making high-stakes decisions in organizations that are intended to measure job-relevant characteristics also produce significant and sizable subgroup differences. There are a variety of ways to measure disparities associated with EEO risk, yet each has strengths and weaknesses. Few of these approaches are frequently seen in actual enforcement. This presentation will review contemporary practices related to assessing EEO risk across a variety of policies and procedures, describe the strengths and weaknesses of various approaches, and recommend best practices.
