Equality vs equity

This year's International Women’s Day in March was focused on embracing equity - imagine a gender-equal world, with no discrimination, unfairness, inequality or inequity. 

I recently found myself unintentionally listening to a divisive radio DJ who was telling the story about a horse who had been sacked from South Yorkshire police for not ‘excelling’ at his job. I would normally switch this particular DJ off, however he had grabbed my attention. How and why do you sack a horse?

Have you ever asked your colleagues what they would like to see more or less of at work? Have you asked them why they work for your business? Why do they stay, why have some left?
