Harassment and Discrimination
Harassment and discrimination at work are serious issues that can create a hostile and unhealthy environment for employees. Harassment encompasses unwelcome behavior based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, religion, or disability, and can include verbal abuse, offensive jokes, or unwanted physical contact. Discrimination involves treating someone unfairly or unfavorably because of these characteristics, affecting hiring, promotions, or work assignments. Employers must establish clear policies prohibiting harassment and discrimination, provide training to educate employees on recognizing and reporting such behavior, and implement procedures for addressing complaints promptly and confidentially. By fostering a culture of respect and inclusivity, workplaces can prevent harassment and discrimination, ensuring a safe and equitable environment for all employees.
