Abstract
When equity is prioritized, resources are allocated to ensuring fair treatment and opportunities for all individuals, which may require additional investments in recruitment efforts, training programs, and systems to monitor and address inequities. Furthermore, achieving equity often involves addressing historical injustices or disparities that may require significant financial commitments to rectify. Additionally, maintaining equity requires ongoing efforts to prevent any regression into unequal treatment or practices, necessitating continuous monitoring and interventions which can incur costs as well. While investing in equity may initially result in increased expenses beyond initial expectations, studies show that organizations that prioritize equity tend to see improved employee morale, productivity, and retention rates in the long run – ultimately leading to overall cost savings through enhanced performance and reduced turnover.
