Three Principles of an Inclusive Workplace: Distributive Justice

An Inclusive organisation is a fair organisation

Find out why fair means more than one thing

This is the second in a three-part series about organisational fairness

In todays show we discuss several things including: 

• Why Distributive Justice is related to Equity
• The importance of Distributive Justice
• The relationship between Distributive Justice and Fairness

Here’s some of what I share in the show: 

Equality approach creates equal outputs for everyone

“On paper, this should be pretty straightforward, two people doing the same job, under the same circumstances should be paid the same amount of money”

Equity approach creates outcomes proportional to inputs
“I talk about this a lot with clients but don’t always use the word equity because it often restricts peoples thinking. But it came up again recently because I was speaking at an international conference”

Needs approach creates inputs according to needs

“This is often conflated and confused with the equity principle and it’s very closely related to the concept of social justice. This means something quite different in the context of Diversity and Inclusion”
