Testing, Hiring, and PromotionDiscussion Questions: select any THREE questions from the list
below (preferably at least one from each chapter) and post your
response in the discussion forum.Would you advise an employer that operates retail clothing
stores to drug test? If so, under what circumstances? Using what
procedures? What should be done regarding applicants or employees
who test positive? (Ch 6) Staffing experts widely regard tests of
general cognitive ability to be the best predictors of success at a
wide range of jobs. What are the legal implications of relying on
such tests? (Ch 6) Jobs are being transformed. Employers are
increasingly focusing on processes rather than individual jobs.
More work is being done in teams, with team members expected to be
capable of taking on each other’s functions. What are implications
of this for validating tests or other selection criteria? Has it
become more difficult to determine what is “job related?” (Ch 6) It
is often said that one of the benefits of a diverse workforce is
that employees will better understand and relate to their diverse
customers. Does this justify making hiring decisions on protected
class grounds? Assigning work so that the protected class
characteristics of employees and customers match? If not, what
should employers do? (Ch 7) Are workplace appearance and grooming
policies necessary? If so, what policy would you recommend with
regard to office workers who have some contact with
clients/customers? To what extent should the policy differentiate
between male and female employees? (Ch 7) To what extent do you
think that caregivers are discriminated against in the workplace?
Do existing laws go far enough to protect caregivers? (Ch 7) Do you
think that the “glass ceiling” phenomenon is primarily a pipeline
problem that will disappear over time as women and persons of color
acquire the relevant experiences or is it rooted more deeply in
organizational cultures and practices hostile to the advancement of
women and minorities? (Ch 7) In our culture, the general perception
is that with youth, comes energy, imagination and innovation. With
age comes decreasing interest, lack of innovation and imagination,
and a lessening of the quality of the person. How do you respond to
these notions? What other age-related stereotypes might be evident
in your workplace? What can managers do to prevent perpetuating
stereotypes and making discriminatory hiring decisions? (Ch 7)
