Strategies to avoid being accused of discrimination while still maintaining a diverse and inclusive workplace include focusing on behaviours, rather than characteristics; implementing formal equality and diversity policies; conducting regular equal opportunity audits; having procedures in place for reporting discrimination complaints and taking them seriously; providing training to managers and employees about equality, diversity and inclusion; promoting role models from different backgrounds; recognising multiple cultures in the workplace as valuable contributions to its strengths; utilising recruitment tactics like blind screening which prevent selection bias when interviewers have unconscious prejudices about certain groups: considering potential indirect effects that can cause discriminative outcomes or impact.

It is important to remember that promoting equality goes beyond treating people equally. Achieving true diversity requires consciously building an inclusive environment where all workers feel respected, appreciated, trusted and able to bring their full self expressed identity as well as abilities to the job. Encouraging open conversations with direct reports or employees from different backgrounds so that they feel heard will help cultivate an equitable environment both on the job itself, but also within the culture of their teams.
