Discrimination is never an isolated incident. It represents a value system or a state of mind that can be deeply embedded in an organisation’s culture
It can occur between team members or students, or it can be present in staff selection for hiring, transfer, promotion or dismissal. It can affect someone on the basis of height and early motherhood status, just as it can on the basis of race, gender, age, sexuality, religion or disability.
Effects of workplace discrimination
Discrimination not only affects the day-to-day culture of an organisation, it plays a part in the decision-making that determines talent: new talent entering the organisation or existing talent rising through the ranks. In this sense it can have a significant impact on business performance.
