n your own words define employment-at-will and explain whether or not you agree with this principle. Next, discuss your thoughts on workplace testing and its role in the hiring process. Do you feel this is a fair hiring practice? Why or why not?

Answer:

a) Employment-at-will is a form of employer-employee relationship which may be terminated by the employer at any time without due consultation with the employee as long as the reason for the termination is not against the law.

b) Work Place Testing: This refers to all the series of tests that an employer can and may administer to a job applicant in order to ascertain their suitability for the role and ensure that they are a culture fit.

Workplace Testing is a fair hiring practice. There is no use hiring an employee only to discover few months later that they cannot do the job as they asserted on their resume. This can be very detrimental to the business as it can leave the business very vulnerable.

e If a candidate is turned down after testing, it doesn't mean they are not capable of being productive at all. It only means that they don't match the person specification for the current job under consideration.

Cheers!
