What is the Difference Between Affirmative Action and Diversity?
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION:
The law to promote equal employment opportunity and to identify and eliminate discriminatory practices and policies to ensure fair treatment in the workforce.
Examples of affirmative action:
- Promote equal employment opportunity and to identify and eliminate discriminatory practices and policies.
- Select, promote, and reward qualified employees, regardless of race, color, national origin, sex religion, age, mental or physical disabilities, political beliefs, sexual orientation, or marital or family status.
- Eliminate barriers that impede open competition in the workplace, preventing individuals from realizing their full potential.
Desired Results:
- Change the demographics by implementing an Affirmative Action Plan as a management tool to eliminate problems and barriers regarding the employment of women and minorities.
- Accountability of supervisors and managers for ensuring equal opportunity for all employees in the hiring process, training opportunities and promotions.
DIVERSITY:
A commitment to understanding and accepting that each individual is unique, recognizing, respecting, and learning from individual similarities and differences.
Examples to show diversity:
- Understand and educate yourself regarding the differences of individuals, whether it be:
- Cultural: race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, political beliefs, mental or physical disabilities, sexual orientation, marital or family status, military/veteran status, lifestyle or language.
- Functional: how an individual things, learns processes information, and relates to diverse groups.
- Do not stereotype individuals.
- Respect and learn from each other's differences.
Desired Results:
- For all employees to make a commitment to recognize and utilize the unique beliefs, values, skills, attributes, and characteristics of their co-workers.
- For all employees to respect each other's differences and work together to achieve the mission of the business.
