WORKPLACE DISCRIMINATION
What is discrimination?
This is a confusing topic for many people in workplaces. What is legal and what isn’t?
Race discrimination and religious discrimination
You’d think that as we progress further into the 21st century, with a global economy and increasing international travel, that cultural and religious differences would be less of an issue for employers. But How to Beat Your Boss: The Workplace Survival Guide author Terry McHugh thinks that we still have a very long way to go before workplaces are free of prejudice and bigotry. We also need to ensure that legal systems and judicial officers are themselves more tolerant and respectful of diversity.
Disability and illness discrimination...
...sexual preference discrimination; gender discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, and family responsibilities discrimination
Each of these types of discrimination is discussed individually, with case examples to make them simple to understand.
Age discrimination
Share some insights about how young workers are mistreated by employers, and how the legal system itself discriminates against them.
Workers at the other end of the age spectrum, close to retirement age, can be unexpectedly thrown out of work. What can they do when their plans are thrown into chaos? And how should they deal with recruiters and employment agents who don’t understand what older workers have to offer?
Sexual harassment
Despite being outlawed for a long time now, many bosses still don’t get it. Some offend with impunity. They just don’t care; they are part of a sub-class of dodgy employers who are also likely to breach numerous other laws, including occupational health and safety, discrimination and tax laws. Most are also workplace bullies.
Another problem area involves school-age workers doing part-time or weekend jobs. Some have become victims of unscrupulous employers. Parents beware; there are predators out there who will cunningly exploit a young worker’s vulnerability.
Falsely accused of sexual harassment
There is a disturbing trend of workers being targeted on trumped-up allegations of sexual harassment. Many employers savagely over-react to complaints, and a new class of victims has been one result.
COMPLAINTS AND ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE
Organisational culture
Employers come in all shapes and sizes. And workplace culture can have a huge impact on employee satisfaction.
These factors can affect the quality of your working life. All employees should try to gain an understanding of these issues.
One good test of a healthy organisation is how it handles employee complaints.
Making a Complaint
“Should I make a formal or informal complaint? Where should I go first?”
How to Beat Your Boss: The Workplace Survival Guide answers these very common questions. Learn how to tell when a complaint will be a waste of time; and what you can do instead.
WOMEN AND WORKPLACES
How legal disputes affect female employees differently
It’s official. Women are different. Now can somebody please tell our law-makers, judges and employers?
Women bosses
Are you having problems with a female boss? Should your boss’s gender make any difference to the way you approach a dispute or negotiation?
