EEO's next frontier: assignments, training, and promotion.

Abstract

Too often, says Prof. Ginzberg, newly hired employees from minority groups are overlooked when it comes to training and assignment to better jobs. The only safe and sane policy for employers to follow is to consider everyone who is hired in any opening position to be in a pool of potential promotables. With the num0er of qualified persons from previously underrepresented groups growing rapidly, the pressure is on management to reflect this fact in promoting individuals from these groups to higher ranks.
