When it comes to the hiring, management and retention of employees, there are plenty of departments that have an impact. However, the most widespread impact most certainly comes from the human resources department.

It seeks to protect employees from being discriminated against on the basis of religion, race, sex, national origin, color and disability (Gutman, Koppes, & Vodanov, 2011, p. 1).

As an Employer, What are Your Legal Obligations Concerning Religion in the Workplace What Policies You Put in Your Employees Handbook?

Feminism can arguably be considered as one of the fastest growing ideologies in the past decades or even centuries.

What it essentially calls for is equality between the two genders. One important note to remember about ...

Background

Every society has a set of values that individuals, businesses and governments are expected to uphold. These are values that the society holds dear, and each of the members is expected to meet a set threshold. Some of the most important values include honesty, truthfulness and integrity. For businesses, the bar is set a bit high because the appetite for profits may make organizations seek shortcuts and annihilate some of these values. This makes operations that businesses engage in remain under sharp focus. Businesses are expected to uphold the integrity for the benefit of consumers, employees and shareholders. If any of these ...

Overview

Sexual harassment in the workplace has increased the need to have and formulate laws that protect employees from exploitation in the workplace. Sexual harassment originates from the need to exercise power in the workplace (Boland, 2005). Sexual harassment in the workplace does not have to involve outright demand for sexual intercourse. It may even involve a simple joke, which is not received well by the other party. Sexual harassment is prevalent in the male dominated workplaces where the number of women employees is fewer. Men will likely be influenced to harass a woman sexually in a workplace. This is the case especially ...

The overall aim of the institutions is to have their business move forward by having successful initiation and completion ...

Discrimination in the hiring process deprives people of the right to employment solely because of their age, gender, pregnancy, disability, genetic information, race, national origin or religion (Discrimination by type, 2012). The practice results in the marginalization of certain groups of people in society and contradicts the principles of human rights (Seiner, 2012). As such, employment discrimination has led to laws and a regulatory body which ensure that the act is punished. Such laws include the Equal Employment Opportunity Act (EEOA), which gave rise to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Both laws ...

Introduction Having Health Systems (HS) or Health Service Organizations (HSOs) as clients can be tough and challenging.

Ever-changing rules and regulations such as the newly ratified Affordable Care Act (ACA) has required HSs and HSOs to have to adapt, and in turn, affect the flow of operations and the stability of consulting firms. Another common result of common changes in the HS and HSO industry would be the reduction in reimbursements as a result ...

People should not be discriminated at the workplace regardless of age, gender, race, or religion to name a few. However, it is unfortunate that many employers still discriminate employment opportunities based on age (US EEOC). Many employers consider younger workers as a better option during the hiring process. Similarly, even when an organization is downsizing there are fewer chances for the younger workers to be laid-off. The major reason for this discrimination is that younger workers provide greater flexibility and are more willing to adapt to changes. Regardless, of stringent laws regarding age discrimination, this law is violated indirectly. Employers ...

Imagine yourself being a minority. Imagine being someone not among the predominant race: an Asian American or an African American. Imagine people talking at your back, making fun at you, or throwing rude remarks. What would you feel? How would you react? We have always been reminded to treat people with respect. Treating with respect means accepting people for who or what they are – regardless of their color, ethnic or racial background, age, religion, or social status in life. However, sad to say, discrimination exists in society today. Despite reminders and laws on equality, access to similar resources and privileges, ...

Career Development

It is clear that employee turnover within an organization is mainly a big challenge to managers since they cannot find their efficient replacement.

Therefore, the management of an organization prefers to keep employees in the same position rather than employing new employees since employee turnover slows down the growth of the organization. It is important for an organization to have in place mechanisms that prevent the employees’ desire to seek greener pastures. ...

Today, every time a mass or school shooting or act of terrorism occurs in America, one thought races through the minds of many Muslim individuals: Please don’t be brown. In light of the events that took place on September 11, 2001, Muslim families and people across the globe become a scapegoat for the tragedy that ensued on that date. Every time a person of color commits an atrocity their actions are immediately linked with the Taliban or Islamic extremist. The idea of Muslim people has become essentialized as a group of people who want to “destroy the Christian nation.” In 2014, studies ...

Discrimination at the workplace is a significant issue for many companies, and it also concerns promotion and new position hiring issues. It is often the case that the headquarters of the company bring their friends or relatives to the company and give them a job, though they may not fulfill all the requirements as other workers do. However, quite often employees hesitate to talk about it for several reasons: whether a fear to be fired or inability to accurately interpret their own rights concerning discrimination at the workplace.

The labor laws outlaw employee discrimination of any nature. It is illegal to practice any form of workplace discrimination. The action by the employer would be deemed unlawful. It can be explained by the theory of affirmative action. The Act outlawed any form of discrimination against any employees and job applicants because of sex. The employers should therefore not make any employment decisions on stereotypical and assumptive attitude. Presuming the ability, personalities, or the productivity of potential employees, on account of their sex is illegal. The employer can be sued for violating the law. The principle of equality ...

In the day of technological revolution when technology has enabled people to bring work home, the fine line between work and personal life has increasingly diminished. Highly sophisticated and easily affordable technologies "have made it more feasible for employees to keep contact with work" through emails, mobile phones and computers that transcend the physical boundaries of their workplace (Olson-Buchanan and Boswell, 2007). Workaholic employees who deem their professional growth as an important part of their identities are more prone to make use of these communication technologies by responding to work related emails or voice mails even after work-hours or ...

Therefore, the paper seeks to address the kinds of discrimination that exist in the company where Maria works as it is typical of what happens in organizations. Additionally, issues of unfair treatment, rights of an organization to ...
