1 equal opportunities
HRthe granting of equal rights, privileges, and status regardless of gender, age, race, religion, disability, or sexual orientation. Equality in employment is regulated by law in most Western countries. An organizational equal opportunities policy works to go further than the regulatory framework demands. Such a policy should focus on preventing discriminatory or harassing behavior in the workplace and achieving equal access to training, job, and promotion opportunities. Affirmative action, which is referred to as positive discrimination in the United Kingdom, is a controversial approach to encouraging the advancement of minorities. Diversity management builds on and goes beyond equal opportunities by looking at the rights of individuals rather than groups. -
