We’ve all heard and used the words ‘equality’ and ‘diversity’ before but what do they actually mean
and how do they affect you as an employer or employee?
Well if you take the words on their own they are actually quite different, equality is the state of
being equal, especially in rights and opportunities.
Diversity is the state of being different or varied.
However these 2 things should not be seen as opposite to each other, after all people can be
different but they still have the same rights.
When it comes to places of work there is legislation in place to ensure that we all meet our
responsibilities in relation to equality and diversity… And one way to make sure we meet these
responsibilities is through training.
