AFFIRMATIVE ACTION

Affirmative action means taking steps to recruit, hire, train, and promote employees from groups that have traditionally been discriminated against on the basis of race, sex, disability, or other characteristics. Affirmative action goes beyond equal employment opportunity, which requires employers to eliminate discriminatory conditions, whether inadvertent or intentional, to require equal treatment for all employees in the workplace.
