Algorithms and Diversity

Abstract

Organizations struggle with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) issues despite having DEI management as a KRA for senior management and human resource (HR) professionals. The review of research papers and articles shows that diversity issues result from discrimination based on gender, race, age, sexual orientation, religion, caste, and colour. Artificial intelligence-based platforms can use predictive and descriptive analytics to handle employee data from multiple sources like recruitment, payroll, training, and performance appraisal for conscious and unconscious bias traces. The HR managers can use these insights to handle DEI issues to save organizations from discrimination-based lawsuits and negative press coverage.
