In the version of the article initially published, Van der Heever, M.M., Van der Merwe, A.S., & Crowley, T. (2019). Nurses’ views on promotion and the influence of race, class and gender in relation to the Employment Equity Act. SA Journal of Industrial Psychology/SA Tydskrif vir Bedryfsielkunde, 45(0), a1611. https://doi.org/10.4102/sajip.v45i0.1611, on page 11, under the ‘Practical implications’ section ‘female nurses of colour’ was incorrectly given as ‘mixed race people’. The ‘Practical implications’ section is hereby updated:

Practical implications

As the results indicate the persistence of racial hierarchies in terms of positions held in the workplace and the inferior viewing of female nurses of colour, management should actively seek ways to enhance inclusivity. These should include diversity training, a racially diverse recruitment team and enhancing the transformational managerial skills of managers to minimise discontent among followers and increase unity among race groups.
