Experts using quantitative analysis can uncover potentially serious problems in the workforce before litigation, as well as have a major impact on the outcome of an employment discrimination case.
Many cases mandate statistical analysis be employed when pattern and practice is alleged.
Lawyers also use statistical concepts and analyses to establish or defeat class certification and liability, as well as to prove or defeat prima facie cases of discrimination. Human resource professionals and corporate attorneys need to know how to objectively assess their organization's work environment in order to reduce employee dissatisfaction and the potential for litigation. They also need to know how to respond objectively to discrimination allegations should they arise. Employment attorneys who understand how statistics and economics are used in court have the ability to more effectively direct trial strategy, cross-examine the opposing side's witnesses, and work productively with clients and expert witnesses. No previous knowledge of statistics is expected.
