Data Misrepresentation

Well-intentioned people can have different
opinions about what is right versus what is wrong and, therefore, are sometimes
faced with “ethical dilemmas.” Such ethical dilemmas can come up in
all phases when using HR analytics. For example, when developing HR metrics,
you might feel pressure to design metrics that are measurable even though they
are not the most appropriate metric for your organization. Or, when reporting
analytics, you might be tempted to highlight the positive aspects of HR
functions and not discuss the negative aspects.

Write a cohesive and scholarly response, based
on and supported by your required readings, media, and research this week, that
addresses the following:

How might an HR professional misrepresent data for
his/her benefit, and why?
Identify one ethical concerns that might emerge as a
result of misrepresented data? Be sure to address the possible impact each
concern has on both the individual and the organization.
Are there any instances when it may be acceptable to
reframe or manipulate the data? Explain why or why not.
How might an HR professional ensure he/she avoids data
misrepresentation to his or her strategic partners?
