What are Examples of Affirmative Action?

In the workplace, affirmative action refers to policies and practices intended to address past discrimination and ensure that everyone, regardless of their background, has a fair chance at employment and career advancement. These policies may include:

• Targeted Recruitment: Efforts to attract a diverse pool of candidates for job openings.
• Hiring Goals: Setting benchmarks to increase diversity in the workforce, though not rigid quotas.
• Training and Development Programs: Offering opportunities for underrepresented employees to advance within the organization.
• Review of Employment Practices: Ensuring that hiring, promotion, and compensation practices are free from bias.

While affirmative action is intended to promote equality, it can sometimes lead to misunderstandings or even discriminatory practices.
