a. Use stock, flow, and concentration statistics to determine if any evidence of ad- verse impact exists. b. Recommend strategies to alleviate any discrimination you find. CHAPTER 3: THE LEGAL CONTEXT Although Ann and Ryan have always known that it is important to comply with equal em- ployment opportunity legislation and other relevant employment laws, it has been 8 years since they conducted any sort of discrimination analyses at their company. They ask you to evaluate the sales associate position for any evidence of discrimination based on gender or ethnicity. Chern's gives all department and store managers bias and diversity training and has never been sued for disparate treatment. Because it knows that adverse impact is still a risk, the company asks you to analyze its full-time sales associate hiring data at the company level for evidence of adverse impact. Tables A-2, A-3, and A-4 summarize the data you will need to use in your analy- ses. The data for the sales associate flow statistics are based on the previous 5 years of staffing across all Chern's stores. Evaluate the stock and concentration statistics and use the four-fifths rule to analyze the flow statistics. In addition to your disparate impact analyses, be sure to recommend strategies that Chern's can use to alleviate any discrimi- nation you may find. There are disparate impact calculators on these Web pages: https:// hr-software.net/Employment Statistics/DisparateImpact.htm and https://hr-software.net/ EmploymentStatistics/DisparateImpact.htm that will help you make these calculations and understand the results for your flow analyses. You may find other tools online as well.
