Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Affirmative action refers to policies and practices that are designed to promote the hiring and advancement of members of historically marginalized or underrepresented groups. This can include giving preference to qualified candidates from these groups in hiring and promotion decisions. Ethical hiring practices and diversity management may also promote inclusivity in the workplace, but they do not necessarily focus specifically on protected groups. BFOQ (Bona Fide Occupational Qualification) refers to situations where an employer is allowed to discriminate on the basis of a protected characteristic if it is necessary for the job.
