Equal Opportunities in the Organization: Concepts, Practices and Skills

Equal opportunities in the organization means that everyone within an organization should have an equal chance to apply and be selected for posts, to be trained or promoted equally and fairly, and to have their employment terminated equally and fairly. No one should have poorer life chances because of things they cannot change, such as their gender, race, age, disability, religion, or sexual orientation. Equal opportunities in the organization are essential for creating and maintaining a positive organizational culture, enhancing the trust and reputation of the organization, and ensuring the compliance and accountability of the organization. Equal opportunities in the organization also contribute to the performance, productivity and sustainability of the organization, as well as to the satisfaction and loyalty of its stakeholders.
