A study on the effect of equal opportunities on organizational performance

Human Capital is the greatest asset of any organization and the organization makes an obvious effort in getting people with different background, skills and abilities to work towards the goals or purpose of the organization. These goals or objectives are the intended outputs against which the actual output or results of the organization are measured, and this is termed as the ‘Organizational Performance’. All the activities concerned with the organization and its performance are carried out by the diversely valued human assets. It has long been argued that equality of opportunity for these diverse set of employees yields high productivity and brings business benefits, thereby creating and sustaining a High Performance Organization (HPO) and that it is the employers’ strategy to implement policies and practices to promote equality of opportunity. This article proposes a framework intended to depict an integrated approach of Organizational Performance and Equality of Opportunities for achieving greater business impact.
