Workshop 1: Strategies to Maximize Diversity and Validity Outcomes of Talent Assessment Programs

 

Abstract:

Achieving validity and diversity outcomes of employee selection programs has been described as a dilemma. In this workshop, we will provide strategies for balancing these goals to maximize benefits, including goal-setting for DEIA in assessment procedures, identifying barriers that may limit the throughput of candidates in different groups, and methodological tools for optimizing multiple criteria.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Describe an overarching approach to strategies that can be used to improve diversity outcomes of selection programs.
  2. Explore at least two methods for uncovering root causes, defining triggers or indicators, and pinpointing areas of concern, and describe the practical steps to investigate or recommend action to help to reduce or remove barriers.
  3. Describe internal and external data sources and mixed-method designs of research projects that focus on the aspects of recruitment, selection, and hiring that may limit employment opportunity or present barriers to equality of opportunity for all. 
  4. Demonstrate how to use the Pareto-optimization modelling to balance diversity and validity as applicable in one data set. 
  5. Explain at least three ways that assessment use in selection can be optimized to support DEIA.

Date:

Wednesday, September 20, 1-5 p.m. EDT

Workshop 2: Demystifying AI Assessments and Bias Audits

 

Abstract:

This workshop provides attendees with a primer on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in selection tools and best practices in conducting bias audits. Topics include: potential use cases for AI in selection, an evolving legal landscape, bias audit nuts and bolts, and key considerations in developing and implementing AI assessments.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify assessments that involve AI methods 
  2. Evaluate an assessment as an AEDT under NYC’s law; identify how this differs from a strict consideration of whether AI methods are being used 
  3. Demonstrate knowledge of the traditional legal frameworks, emerging regulations for AI-based methods, and how these relate and intersect 
  4. Create a plan for conducting a bias audit 
  5. Describe the benefits of proactive auditing AI or algorithmically complex assessments 
  6. Describe factors to consider when developing, implementing, and validating assessments that utilize AI 

Date:

Tuesday, September 26, 1-5 p.m. EDT

  1. Identify and analyze three factors contributing to the uncertainties and challenges in today's global talent environment. 
  2. Discuss how behavioral assessment is applied to organizational needs.
