Workplace discrimination affects the worker and the employer as well. Employees who are subjected to discrimination may feel alienated from their peers or supervisors, affecting their work efficiency. Discrimination can also end in the loss of income, potential earnings, and benefits, graphically in situations where the worker was omitted for a promotion because of discriminatory practices.
Far beyond their accountability to shield the rights of their employees, it's within the best interest of companies to establish and maintain a discrimination-free work environment. There are positive benefits to doing so, as well as a lower turnover rate, better office productivity, and lessened legal liability.
