TrainingBriefs® Why Equity Matters

Workplace equity refers to the fair and just treatment of all employees regardless of their backgrounds or identities, with an emphasis on creating an inclusive workplace where everyone has equal access to opportunities for professional growth and success. In order to create a workplace culture that prioritizes equity, organizations need to be intentional about their efforts. This means actively seeking out diverse candidates for employment, providing equal access to opportunities for professional growth and advancement, and creating a culture of respect and inclusivity. It also means investing in training and education for all employees to help them understand and recognize the impact of bias and discrimination in the workplace.
