Discrimination in Employment

Discrimination in employment occurs when an individual is treated unfairly or unfavorably in the workplace due to attributes like race, gender, age, disability, religion, or sexual orientation. This can happen during hiring, promotions, job assignments, or dismissals. Laws in many countries aim to protect employees from such biases, ensuring fair treatment and equal opportunities. Discrimination can harm not only individuals but also workplaces by diminishing morale and productivity. Recognizing and addressing discrimination fosters a more inclusive and diverse work environment, which benefits everyone involved.
