Discrimination occurs when an employee suffers unfavorable or unfair treatment due to their race, religion, national origin, disabled or veteran status, or other legally protected characteristics. This group could also include employees who suffer reprisals for opposing workplace discrimination or for reporting violations to the authorities.

How can we avoid workplace discrimination ?

Common sense

idea posted by Raju Ramalingam Business Analyst, Rhytha Web Solutions

Common sense - we should use our common sense to avoid these kind of actions. We are all well educated and working. Then why should we concentrate on these kind of stuffs? Think and deliver your words & one should know how to harness words. All the rules and policies are created based on common sense.

This is the universal truth. Many times many trainers and gurus says that Keep your Bosses happy and u are done.

Companies should draft policies

idea posted by Nikhil Jain Senior Consultant, Hewitt Associates

If companies can draft policies prohibiting workplace discrimination they can avoid it. The company should set clear standards and establish penalties for violators of any of these policies and it should be in written.

I guess this will reduce and avoid Workplace discrimation.

Training

idea posted by Rohit Khanna Project Leader/Managing Consultant, Accenture

I think employers should conduct training and educate the employees to avoid workforce discrimation.

Regular training should be provided to the managers and employees for preventing harassment, discrimination or other employment law violations.

Yes, making rules or strict encouragement of complaints, is like treating a number of people with a gun. More so then improves the silent politics and groupism. The person who is thought to be discriminated falls a prey for isolation, ofcourse the same emails and information fall through everything, but the work package details and informations one needs to be aware of before doing something in package will not be discussed ( passive safety requirements) and finally he will be shot dead , because he failed to do the thing correctly. So finally without complaining because of this remark, he will be demotivated and falls into the category of new job searchers. These continious attacks on ones back really makes the person, to be really  a hard person, making lifes of the persons juniors (who entered new into the market) very uncomfortable and not very natural. This continues to be a viscious cycle. In the name of professionalism i cannot speak more than this i guess you guys cna understand what i mean. I dont say everyone is the same, but nonetheless, the potential risk of this theme is not very far. I feel in India, we do have more than 1 reason to discriminate , this is the reason and one fore most reason , why Our country really lacks innovations & team work and there fore -fighting for a right concept to get out with results ( Research & Development).

Complaints

Companies should welcome complaints regarding discrimination and a proper procedure should be followed for filling complaints.
