Employment equity

Employment equity refers to policies and practices aimed at ensuring fair treatment and equal opportunities in the workplace for all individuals, particularly those from historically marginalized groups. This includes addressing barriers faced by women, racial minorities, people with disabilities, and Indigenous peoples. The goal is to create a diverse workforce that reflects society, promotes inclusivity, and enhances workplace dynamics. Through initiatives like affirmative action and targeted recruitment, organizations strive to provide equitable access to jobs, training, and advancement, ultimately fostering a more just and representative work environment.
