 Home : About Equal Opportunity

Equal Opportunity (EO) in a workplace context means that all employees have equal access to the opportunities that are available at work. This means that all employees are treated with fairness and respect in that they are not subject to discrimination or harassment in the workplace.

Equal Opportunity is an outcome, not just a process.

Greater diversity is "the road map to financial stability overall". If there had been more women in financial management, the GFC might not have been as severe.
