Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Affirmative action refers to proactive efforts to eliminate discrimination and past effects by promoting equal opportunities for historically underrepresented groups in employment, education, and other areas. Affirmative action can include programs and policies such as outreach, recruitment, mentoring, training, and preferential treatment or quotas. Diversity awareness and diversity action plans also aim to promote inclusivity and respect for differences, but they may not necessarily involve measures to address past discrimination or achieve specific diversity targets. Affirmation action plan is not a commonly used term in this context.
