Question

The United College of Arts (UCA) has become aware of the underrepresentation of Native Americans in its workforce. It has shortlisted a number of steps to increase the percentage of Native Americans in its workforce. Which of the following steps, if adopted, ensures maximum results?
A) Recruiting at community events near or on Native American reservations and from colleges located nearby
B) Rating all applicants on a 100-point scale and giving Native American applicants 20 points automatically based on their national origin
C) Designating specific positions to be filled only by Native Americans through a quota system
D) Replacing qualified employees from other groups with equally qualified Native American employees

Answer 1

Answer:

A) Recruiting at community events near or on Native American reservations and from colleges located nearby

Explanation:

The approach that will yield maximum result if adopted will be for the UCA to carryout their recruitment at community events near or on Native American reservations and from colleges located nearby, by adopting this practice, more Native Americans will be reached for employment opportunities and thus giving them an edge/added chance of being employed, considering that Native Americans are relatively communal. For example, if recruitment is carried out at community events on Native American reservations, the population of Native Americans applying will be higher than any other ethnicity and thus the percentage of qualified Native Americans for the jobs compared to other ethnic groups will still be higher leading to an increase in the numbers employed.

Rating all applicants on a 100 point scale and giving the Native Americans an added 20 point will infringe on fair labour practices and besides Native Americans population are relatively communal.

Option C and D will equally infringe on fair labour practices
