Proactive Employment Consulting

CRA regularly provides proactive analyses of organizations’ employment practices. We work with counsel to prepare internal audits of employment outcomes and develop systems that allow for periodic monitoring of staffing and pay decisions. As part of this review we look at the underlying criteria utilized by decision-makers to determine what may be generating the apparent adverse impact on a particular employee group. CRA also develops user-friendly tools that clients rely on for smaller decisions to determine if further examination is appropriate. Using these analyses clients can identify specific organizational unit or stage of selection process that may lead to unintended outcomes. CRA’s analyses are grounded in labor economic theory, underlying market conditions, and client-specific policies and procedures.
