The workplace is designed in a way where there is management, supervisors and rank and file. This has always been how it has been engineered since time immemorial. In the workplace, it is important that equality and unbiased selection are prioritized.
This should not be new to all but equality in the work force has been a constant advocacy by many. This does not only tackle gender discrimination but also against color and race. It is essential that equality is uplifted as this will eliminate toxicity in the company and allow a thriving company to grow better.
What does equality in the work force look like?
If there is equality in the company, below are some should be some of the apparent traits:
- Management should be Open to Suggestions
- There is Unbiased Communication
- Equal Opportunities for Applicants both of color and not
- Equality in Promotion
Management should be open to Suggestions
In order to uphold equality at work, it is important that management makes itself available to suggestions and opinions. It would not be healthy if the management is not open to anything the work force would say. It would only lead to a toxic environment.
There is Unbiased Communication
Being able to express one’s self, thoughts and opinions without being judged and prejudiced is very important in a company. Being able to speak one’s mind because the company is not biased and is fair is essential in a work place in order to uphold employees’ voice and importance.
Equal Opportunities for Applicants both of color and not
For equality to govern, in the application process, race and culture should not determine a pass or a fail. What is important is one’s qualifications in order to purport and justify the reason of being admitted in the program. Equality does not only mean being able to employ women and men, but it also looks into employing anyone of any color or culture so long as they are qualified and capable.
Equality in Promotion
It is also important to have individuals promoted because they deserve such promotion. Putting the wrong people on top can only destroy the esteem of the rest of the employees which would mean a loss of assets in the company. If a promotion is needed, the employee promoted should be done so because she deserves it and not because he is close to the management.
