“When I think of equity, I think of fairness. When I think of fairness in the workplace, I think of organisational justice”

I like to think of procedural justice, distributive justice and interactional justice.

“ When I think of organisational justice. I think of 3 things: Procedural Justice, Distributive Justice and Interactional Justice”
