Hiring and recruiting policy that ensures equal employment opportunities is known as what?

• A. Performance Appraisal
• B. Affirmative Action
• C. Unacceptable Performance
• D. Temporary Promotion

Answer: (B)

Affirmative Action focuses on ensuring equal employment opportunities in hiring and recruitment by requiring proactive steps to expand outreach, prevent discrimination, and increase representation of underrepresented groups. It goes beyond simply not discriminating; it seeks to actively create a fair process where qualified candidates from diverse backgrounds have a real opportunity to be considered and hired. The other options relate to post-hire activities or performance issues (evaluating how someone performs, labeling performance as unacceptable, or promoting someone temporarily), none of which address the policy groundwork for hiring equity.
