Big Data, Analytics and the Workplace, Part III

In this episode, Brent Cossrow and Dave Walton wrap up their discussion around the intersection of data analytics and the workplace. Having reviewed the basics of big data in practical terms (Part I) and how powerful algorithms designed for use in theaters of war are making their way into HR departments across the country (Part II), Brent and Dave dig a little deeper into use-cases for this technology and the accompanying risks that organizations take on by leveraging these new tools. Questions of discrimination present themselves in new ways that organizations and their counsel must be cognizant of to avoid legal trouble.
