What Is Adverse Impact?
Adverse impact is a concept in American employee selection. It concerns fair practices that do not discriminate based on personal characteristics such as ethnicity, gender, or religion. It is determined by comparing the percentage of applicants who are hired in different groups, such as Whites versus various ethnic or racial minorities. Companies should track the percentages of applicants hired for various groups to be sure that adverse impact is not occurring. Steps should be taken to minimize it, if possible. More details are in the eSkill blog article.
