Diversity in the Workplace: Implications for Human Resource Development Paper
Introduction:
There are various kinds of people work in same workplace. Even though there are individual differences exist among people, still they should be treated fairly in the workplace. At present workplace discrimination is considered as a major issue in many places. In this diversity in the workplace paper we will focus on discrimination in the workplace, federal and state legislations regarding workplace discriminations, the responsibilities of human service manager to handle the issues, and the effects of such discrimination on development and management of human resources.
Discrimination at the workplace I personally have not been discriminated against at my workplace. However I do have an example of discrimination that happened to a co-worker at my job. We had a new co-worker come in, she was in her twenties and had the type of personality that would say what was on her mind and didn’t care what others thought. Other employees had the impression that she thought she was better than everyone. We have a diverse group of employees at my work that includes, white, black, and Spanish speaking. After many complaints about our new co-worker the management/owners had a meeting with her. They told her that she needed to start making friends with the other teachers and to stay away from the Spanish speaking crowd because they only gossiped and she would never fit in with them. So they basically told her to become acquainted with the lead white teachers. To me the owners were discriminating against the Spanish speakers at my work and doing this behind their back.
