First-time author, Mr. Garnet A. Ferron Snr. has said that his book, “Workplaces Fairness Globally: Balancing the Weight of Fairness”, examines the complex interplay of fairness in the workplace on a global scale.

Mr. Ferron Snr. said the contents of the text delves into the nuances of fairness as it is understood and applied within professional environments.

“It offers a rigorous exploration of the subject that is sure to resonate with both employers and employees alike. It also presents an opportunity to reflect on the evolving dynamics of the modern workforce and the importance of balancing diverse interests in pursuit of equity,” he said.

The author explained that the book represents the culmination of years of research and contemplation on the subject of fairness in the workplace.

“The global nature of the workforce presents both challenges and opportunities, and it is my hope that this work will spark meaningful dialogue and offer practical insights that contribute to a fairer, more just working environment for all,” Mr. Ferron Snr. said.
