Rationale: Positive discrimination refers to actions being taken which give preference to aprotected person, regardless of
genuine suitability and qualification for the job. Statement 1 is not positive discrimination as the steps are only taken to
encourage people to apply. It does not say that they will necessarily be accepted.Diversity goes further than equal
opportunities. The ways in which people meaningfully differ in the work place include not only race and ethnicity, age and
gender but personality, preferred working style, individual needs and goals and so on.
