equal employment
Nondiscriminatory workplace access
Equal employment is the principle that job candidates and workers should be treated fairly regardless of race, sex, religion, age, disability, or other protected characteristics.
The phrase appears most often in equal employment opportunity, a legal and corporate framework prohibiting workplace discrimination.
An equal employment opportunity employer commits to hiring based on qualifications rather than demographics.
