CALIFORNIA FAIR HOUSING AND EMPLOYMENT ACT AMENDMENTS
Proactive Analytics Can Mean Less Risk.
The amendments made to California's Fair Housing and Employment Act (FEHA) in June of 2025 aim to protect workers from illegal discrimination by selection tools and expand the need for demographic analytics of applicant and employee data. Under the updated FEHA, employers can minimize legal risk and gain an affirmative defense against discrimination litigation by conducting analytics on selection tools such as:
- Automated decision and artificial intelligence tools
- Pre-employment assessments
- Resume screeners
- Third party analyses
- Personality tests
- Targeted outreach
DCI's team of industrial-organizational psychologists, labor economists, and human resource consultants can conduct these analyses under attorney-client privilege to help protect your organization in litigation.
