As humans, we want to be treated equitably. We want to know that we’re valued, that our work matters, and that we are compensated fairly for our efforts. The concept of equity involves looking at a situation and identifying the variables — the people involved, the resources at play and the situational factors — and then asking yourself these questions:
- Are we giving each person the necessary resources?
- Are we giving each person a proportional amount of attention?
- Are we showing appreciation in a balanced way?
- Are we giving each person an equal opportunity to succeed?
