Global Business and the Hope for Fairness at Work

November 2024EmploymentEngineering

Abstract

As a General Counsel for almost 25 years, the past 17 with a global manufacturing company, I have had the opportunity to observe employees working across many different cultures and to consider the essential elements of a work environment where real progress can be made towards fairness. Since writing an academic article about the language of equal opportunity in 2000 , I have also tried to keep up with behavioral science research, although I do not pretend to be a social science expert. What I hope to contribute here is a perspective rooted in observation, experience in global business, and the expertise of others relevant to the subject of fairness and equal opportunity at work.
