Brandon Frere Talks About Equality Versus Equity

Idea Exchange

There’s a lot of talk about making sure everyone is treated fair and equally, especially from a business standpoint. But is equality really what is going to best help a business succeed? Brandon Frere, successful entrepreneur and CEO of several companies, has some words about the need to balance equality and equity in a business.

“Every employee brings with them a new opportunity for the company. They might need some sort of accommodation to achieve their top productivity, but they’re a part of the team in a business. It’s the job of the business owner to take care of employees because they’re the ones who take care of your business,” said Frere. Equality means every employee gets the same thing. The same desk, the same training, all of the same tools to use. But each employee is a unique person and won’t need the same things to reach maximum productivity. An employee that suffers from back issues might need a standing desk or another might need more hands-on training to gain a new skill because of how they learn.

But not every situation will need specifics for it to be fair. The need for equality versus equity is all about giving people what is fair. If there’s a spot opening up in a department that might be best filled by someone already working there, giving everyone an equal shot at it is what would be fair. “Doing right by employees to get the most out of them is a good shot at a successful business and a healthy work environment. My employees come first in my business because they chose to come and work for me, and I want to show them that that is appreciated,” said Frere.
