BUS 309 Week 11 Discussion

Week 10 – Job Discrimination:

Diversity and Inclusion – what exactly does that mean?  Diversity deals with the traits or characteristics a person has based on race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation just to name a few.  Inclusion deals with providing a work environment where everyone is treated equally, fairly, and respectfully with full access to resources needed to support the success of the company.

Below is an article from the following website https://www.glassdoor.com/blog/new-study-discrimination/ accessed 5/12/20.  These are some interesting statistics, I’m sure some of you may have witnessed or been apart of workplace discrimination.

“ In spite of employers increasing investment in diversity and inclusion, a new Glassdoor survey reveals that 61 percent, or about three in five U.S. employees have witnessed or experienced discrimination based on age, race, gender or LGBTQ identity in the workplace. The 2019 Diversity and Inclusion Study was conducted online by The Harris Poll among over 1,100 U.S. employees and revealed the prevalence of discrimination at work. Furthermore, in surveying employees across the U.S., UK, France and Germany, issues of belonging are common.

Among the key findings of the survey, employees revealed:

· Employed adults in the U.S. have experienced or witnessed discrimination (61 percent) more than those in the UK (55 percent), France (43 percent) and Germany (37 percent) respectively

· Forty-two percent of employed adults in the U.S. have experienced or witnessed racism in the workplace; the highest percentage of the four countries surveyed

· Ageism is the most experienced or witnessed form of discrimination in both the U.S. (45 percent) and UK (39 percent)

· Gender is the most experienced or witnessed form of discrimination in both France (30 percent) and Germany (24 percent)

· Half (50 percent) of employed adults across the four countries believe their employer should do more to increase diversity and inclusion

“Creating a company culture that celebrates and respects people for their diverse backgrounds and experiences should be a top priority for all employers,” said Carina Cortez, Glassdoor’s chief people officer. “Employees must feel comfortable bringing their full selves to work, without the fear of prejudice or ridicule, whether intentional or not. It’s critical for employers to actively listen to how their employees feel about what it’s like to work at their company. More importantly, employers must be willing and ready to take action to foster a workplace environment in which all people feel they belong.”

During a time of record-low unemployment, the U.S. is experiencing one of the best times in history to find a job. This also means that companies are being evaluated even more closely by career-minded job seekers for signs of mission-aligned values, a thriving company culture and a people-first approach. Our survey shows that workplace discrimination, whether based on race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation or identity, to name a few, persists.

“While it’s troubling to see that a majority of people have experienced or witnessed discrimination at work, with more awareness comes more action to ensure greater inclusivity in the workplace,” adds Cortez. “The results of this survey should be a wake-up call for workers and employers to foster a more inclusive culture to end any form of discrimination at work.”

* Your discussion for this week is to search chose a company and find their diversity and inclusion statement.  Provide the link to the company’s statement along with your comments.  Post the article link into the discussion area so your classmates can click and read the article

Here is an example to look at  https://coca-colahellenic.com/en/about-us/policies/inclusion-and-diversity-policy/

· Include in your explanation

· Do you feel the policy is fair?

· Is the policy realistic?

· Does it state what an employee can do if discrimination occurs?

· Overall, do you feel it is a good policy?

· Finally, to earn a grade you will need to watch a classmate’s article and post a comment to their explanation as well as include your thoughts on their article.

** Be sure to put your link and comments into the SAME discussion window, please do not post the link in one window and then open a new window for your comment.

Please remember to ask for assistance if you are unclear on the work.  It’s important to complete the discussion as we progress through the week as it is sort of a “current” experience since you are commenting on your classmate’s work.

 I hope you can have some fun with this style of discussion since you can post situations that of your own interest.   I always appreciate your feedback.  Thank you.
