EMPLOYMENT LAW: DISCRIMINATION IN THE WORKPLACE Elective area: Employment law Professional Project Dissertation Topic: Discrimination in the workplace
Summary/abstract
Discrimination in the workplace is a one of the crucial areas covered by employment law. Discrimination in the workplace often involves firing, promotion, recruiting, or remuneration based on prejudice based on gender, race, or disability. Workplace discrimination occurs due to differing perceptions of the abilities and skills of members of a certain race or gender. This Professional Project Dissertation will be divided into two parts. The first part will cover cases of workplace discrimination. The second part will include the impacts of workplace discrimination on employee and organizations’ performance. The modern day society in multi-racial countries is of people from different backgrounds. Some races are considered inferior in some countries. This notion extends into the workplace whereby managers are prone to make impaired judgments on their employees based on their race. Some countries in the world consider members of the female gender inferior and incapable of serving some functions. On accessions, women in these countries are discriminated from performing some duties strictly set apart for men. The primary aim of the research entails shedding light on cases of workplace discrimination and helps create information that will improve how employment law prevents the effects of job discrimination (Hagelskamp, and Hughes, 2014).
