Workplace discrimination occurs when an employee is treated unfairly or unequally based on specific characteristics such as race, gender, age, disability, or sexual orientation. This unfair treatment can manifest in various ways, including hiring practices, promotions, job assignments, and workplace harassment. Discrimination can create a hostile work environment and negatively impact employee morale and productivity. Laws, such as the Civil Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, aim to protect employees from workplace discrimination. Employers are required to provide equal opportunities and ensure a fair workplace for all employees, regardless of their personal characteristics. Addressing discrimination is essential for fostering an inclusive and diverse work environment.
