An agent based modeling approach used to investigate the impacts of various EDI hiring interventions. A graphical user interface is developed along with simulation of the agent based model. This software is built on the works of Friesen and McLeod [1].
An over represented group is labeled ORG and an under represented group is labeled URG. The URG may be due to race, socioeconomic class, or other characteristics.
The hiring process modeled is one new individual every 3 months. The attrition rate is one individual per year, weighted in proportion to the percentage of ORG and URG individuals in the organization.
