Skills Set and Occupation Bias

Discrimination in the workplace occurs when a person or individuals are treated unfairly due to traits that are not related to their job or their performance, as well as their credentials. Employees who experience discrimination are generally judged based on their race, gender, religion, political views, nationality, social background, age, disability, HIV/AIDS status, trade union affiliation, and sexual orientation.
