Consider a situation where two people are employed to perform a task. One of you is responsible for several tasks, while your colleague handles different ones. These tasks are performed well by both of you, but it becomes clear that the employee evaluations only include the tasks given to your coworker. So, even though you’ve done your job as well, or even better than your co-worker, the system is rigged so that you have nothing to show and your work is simply unable to be evaluated.

It’s time to update credit reports to make them more inclusive and accurate.
