EQUITY

EQUITY is a balancing act and people expect democracy in an organisation. equity has a point of no return as it evokes powerful emotions. Equity is in the hands of the beholder.

AS a natural force for business success, equity is about fairness, either perceived or real. for employers in an organisation,perception is REALITY when it comes to fairness as people are concerned on how fairly they believe they are being treated. This is a highly sensitive fforce in the sense that it can stir up much emotion and influence employee's behaviours and attitudes toward the organisation.

A tinge of democracy is the expected organisational system; basically, employees at all levels are concerned about getting their fair share of the corporate pie. Since equity issues involve administration of policies and practices, employees are concerend whether they are being treated fairly. Moreso, equity has a point of no return in that when there is perceived unfairness in an organisation, the Natural force of Equity begins to take over. As such it manifests itself in labour conflicts or strikes, employee turnover, government intervention, legal action and lawsuits and even outright sabotage or workplace violence.
