There is a major difference between equality and equity, especially in the workplace. Equality is providing all employees with the same level of support and resources, while equity is allocating these resources differently based on individuals’ needs.
When it comes to managing, a one-size-fits-all approach isn't inherently equitable. No two employees are the same. Even employees in identical roles may have vastly different educational or training backgrounds, prior professional experiences, personal identities, and especially, responsibilities outside the workplace.
Managing all employees the same way may lead to faster rates of burnout, turnover, and eventually, a negative effect on your company’s morale and profits. It’s also a surefire way to send your diverse talent running for the hills.
Read on to learn more about supporting your employees based on their individual needs and how this is the most just and sustainable way to run your business.
