Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using a gendered term like "exercise boys" in a job advertisement is considered discriminatory and could dissuade women from applying. It is important to use gender-neutral terms and avoid any language that could be interpreted as discriminatory. Choices A, B, and D are all incorrect. While it is important to address any potential disparate impact in recruiting efforts, there is no legal requirement to expand internal recruiting efforts. Having employees who are not from the targeted community may not be the most effective strategy for recruiting diverse candidates. Finally, the EEOC guidelines prohibit indirect references to age or gender, not permit them.
