Discrimination and Harassment at Workplace

Discrimination and harassment in the workplace refer to unfair treatment and inappropriate behavior that undermines a person's dignity. Discrimination occurs when an employee is treated unfairly based on characteristics like race, gender, age, or disability. Harassment involves unwanted behavior, such as bullying or inappropriate comments, that creates a hostile work environment. Both issues can lead to emotional distress and negatively impact job performance. Organizations are responsible for ensuring a respectful, inclusive workplace and addressing any incidents promptly to support employees' rights and well-being.
