Discrimination in the WorkplaceUnfair discrimination in business, as well as any other areas, is a bad thing. It is bad for the individuals who are denied jobs and access to vocational training, those who suffer victimisation and/or harassment. It is also bad for the businesses as they are denying themselves access to the widest pool of talent and not sharing in the benefits (such as increased motivation, lower turnover of staff and access to wider markets) which a diverse workforce and effective equality policies can bring. Legislation and the LawMost nations now have legislation in place to help to prevent discrimination across a wide range of criteria, and to provide all people with an equal playing field where no one is restricted because of prejudice. Within the Europe Union there are two European Directives on equality whose aim is to stop discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation, religion or belief, disability and age in employment and vocational training. |
