workplace equity
Fair treatment professionally
Workplace equity is the principle that employees should be treated fairly, with access to the same opportunities for advancement, compensation, and recognition regardless of background or identity.
Unlike equality, which gives everyone identical treatment, equity acknowledges that different people may need different support to achieve comparable outcomes: The company's workplace equity initiative addressed pay gaps and promotion barriers.
The term appears frequently in HR policy and diversity discussions.
