Discrimination in the Workplace

Paper Summary:

To effectively deal with the problems of discrimination in the workforce, a workplace environment must strive to prevent discriminatory behavior from occurring between employees It must also ensure that when discriminatory behavior does occur the participants involved in the conflict have a venue in which to express their differences and grievances. Finally, leaders in the workplace must make an effort to ensure that it doesn't occur in the future. This paper explains how preventing discrimination, therefore, requires an efficacious three-pronged attack for both public and private enterprises.

From the Paper:

"When individuals work in a diverse workforce, and see others who are different than they are, excel, they are more apt to become tolerant of clients and customers as well as fellow employees on a subordinate and superior level whom are of diverse backgrounds. But even in the best workplace environments, conflicts will occur. Thus, it is important for employees to know they have someone to talk to, and somewhere to go, to address their grievances in a timely manner, before the conflict becomes dangerous to productivity. Trained, in-house counselors versed in discriminatory laws are necessary on the part of the firm, for issues of legal liability, to keep company staff abreast of potential illegalities. Trained HR staff must be aware of the firm's internal policies regarding non-discrimination."
