Employer Discrimination

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that discrimination remains a serious concern in today's society, which attempts to be politically correct and offer equal opportunity. The author points out that, because of strict laws preventing businesses from discriminating against people based on unfair criteria, employers face a particular dilemma when hiring new employees; sexual orientation, race, gender, and religion are among the issues employers are not allowed to take into account when making hiring decisions. The paper stresses that having a diverse workplace can be a wellspring of creativity, as different people bring their own perspectives, life experiences, and abilities together to form new ideas.

From the Paper:

"Many different forms of discrimination occur in businesses. Employers may discriminate against employees or perspective employees because the employee is different from the employer or other employees in some way, such as being of a different ethnicity, religion, or gender. Employers may believe that employees that are of a certain group will discourage customers or attract unwanted clientele, or that bringing an employee into the company that does not fit in with the other employees will cause inter personnel difficulties."
