ABSTRACT
Stereotyping and discrimination of any kind cannot be got rid of overnight. Generating a real commitment to equality has to be a continuous process.
The first step is to look again at your organization’s equal opportunities policy. Having a well thought out equal opportunities policy is very important but it is unlikely to make a real difference to attitudes and practices among your workteam unless everyone is aware of it and understands it properly. You have a responsibility to make sure that the policy is not just written down and then forgotten about.
