فيديو شرح HR Basics: Discrimination ضمن كورس ادارة الموارد البشرية (HR) شرح قناة GreggU، الفديو رقم 24 مجانى معتمد اونلاين
HR Basics is a series of short courses, designed to highlight what you need to know about a particular human resource management topic. In today’s HR Basics, we explore discrimination, first understanding what discrimination is and then discussing discriminatory practices in the workplace.
Discrimination is the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people. In this course, we will seek to understand discrimination and anti-discrimination practices of employers and then discuss the four types of discrimination in the workplace.
Employment discrimination is a form of discrimination based on protected characteristics by employers. Anti-discrimination law protects the right of people to be treated equally. The primary objective of antidiscrimination legislation is to ensure that individuals are given equal opportunity in the workplace.
A protected class is a group of people with a common characteristic who are legally protected from employment discrimination on the basis of that characteristic. These traits are called “protected characteristics” and referred to as “protected classes.”
Federal protected classes include - race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, physical or mental disability, veteran status, genetic information, and citizenship.
Anti-discrimination laws outlaw employment discrimination on the basis of protected characteristics in any aspect of employment, from hiring to firing (and everything in between). However, discrimination happens in the workplace. Employers have the responsibility to apply anti-discrimination standards to ensure fair and equitable treatment of employees.
Discriminatory practices can typically be grouped under one of four categories - disparate treatment, where an individual is treated differently because of the characteristic that defines the protected class; disparate impact, a more subtle and usually unintentional form, also known as adverse impact; harassment, unwanted and unwelcome treatment because of a protected class; and Retaliation, prohibits employers from retaliating against an employee for making a complaint of harassment or discrimination.
It is the employers obligation to understand and identify discrimination, and take anti-discrimination steps to prevent and correct protected class discrimination in the workplace.
