Abstract

An essential factor in the ethical management of a diverse workforce is an active involvement in promoting equity in employment. Evidence shows that governments are not committed to developing workforce diversity and managing the workforce in an ethical manner. The City of Toronto, Canada, has implemented an Equal Opportunity Program that is a model of promoting equity in public sector employment. There are seven components to the program, including research, technical support, and the handling of complaints. Governments must be role models for businesses in the ethical management of a diverse workforce.
