Affirmative Action
The concept of promoting equal employment opportunities and fair wages in the workplace, particularly for minorities and women who have each faced decades of discrimination in the past.
Encouraging diversity in the workplace is not just ethical, but also good for business. Organisations with a diverse team may benefit from a more positive image and attract a larger pool of talented candidates from different backgrounds.
Employers are encouraged to have an affirmative action plan that is specific to the needs of their workplace.
