The Importance of Fairness in the Workplace: Meeting a Human Need
Fairness isn’t a luxury — it’s a human necessity. It’s hardwired into us. From childhood, we react instinctively to unfairness.

Your brain is designed to be selfish – after all its primary function is to keep you alive and it does this by detecting rewards and moving you towards them and by detecting threats and moving you away from them.
