Discrimination in the Workplace

Discrimination in the workplace occurs when an employee is treated unfairly or unequally based on characteristics such as age, gender, race, religion, disability, or sexual orientation. This can manifest in hiring decisions, promotions, salary differences, or daily interactions. Discrimination not only undermines individual rights but also affects workplace morale and productivity. Many countries have laws designed to protect employees from such unfair treatment, promoting a diverse and inclusive work environment where all individuals have equal opportunities to succeed. Recognizing and addressing discrimination is essential for fostering respect and equity in the workplace.
