Employee descriptions are often tricky. I do not know why some clients still want things like race and build. It seems to set up the possibility of some uncomfortable situations if the employees see the reports, but perhaps in those companies the employees do not see the actual reports.

This entry in particular caught my attention as it's something I wrestle with. One company I shop for specifically prohibits mention of an employee's race or age. Another, though, asks not only for the race and age, but also for a description of the employee's build. It's multiple choice: "heavy", "average", or "slight". I guess it all depends on a company's culture, but I have a hard time identifying an employee as "heavy".
