No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Diversity Initiatives Gone Awry
Cassie Shamber and Arielle Newton, Biddle Consulting Group

Often times goals are commonly seen as a “recruitment” issue and by simply “casting a broader net,” organizations can make meaningful progress. Organizations commonly focus their attention and efforts in outreach and recruitment to address their goals. Unfortunately, diversifying applicant pools without addressing underlying roadblocks in the selection process, can often lead to elevated adverse impact (ie, no good deed goes unpunished.) The session will focus on bringing these issues to light so that meaningful action-oriented programs can be created.
