substantively over the past thirty years. Summarize the contemporary legal and professional standards
that guide the use of assessments in the workplace, and describe the implications of these standards on
organizations that decide to use assessments as a basis of employment decisions. Then, integrate your
understanding of these standards to evaluate the steps outlined by authors Scott and Pearlman (2010) for
using assessment to facilitate organizational change. How do the steps Scott and Pearlman proposed help
an organization avoid the potential for liability when using assessments to guide personnel decisions
duringorganizational transitions? Explain your answer, referencing course readings and other academic
