STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING THE ISSUE

We can take some actions if we are experienced regarding discrimination at work. Firstly,
review our employer’s policies. When we start to work at any organization or company, most
employers will give us an Employment Manual or Handbook. Review this to find out what
policies might be in place to protect you. Look for policies about discrimination. Find out what
our company’s complaint procedure is, and pay close attention to deadlines. If there is no
information about how to report or complain about discrimination, see if there is a phone number
for HR (Human Resources).

Next, write down in detail what happened and when it occurred, including anything you
said or did, and any witnesses or people that may have been involved in the decisions, policies,
or incidents. Include every example of discrimination you can remember. As new things happen,
write them down to avoid forgetting details. Anything that related to the discrimination such as
conversations or meetings we have to keep notes including with HR, supervisor, or the person
making the discriminatory decisions or comments. Record the time, date, and place of the
meeting, and who was there. If we comfortable doing so, ask any witnesses to write down what
they heard or saw. Keep these written accounts at home, on a personal email account, or in
another safe place not related to your work. Thus, if there are any relevant emails or messages,
save and gather them in one place, at home, on a personal email account, or in another safe place
not related to your work. Save all emails and messages you send to the person doing the
discriminating, and those that you send to others about the discrimination.

Known as internal complaint what can we do is report concerns or complaints about


discrimination to Human Resources (HR) or your boss. We know it was not always possible to
feel safe or comfortable at work after talking to your supervisor or coworkers about
discrimination you’re experiencing. But when we are reporting to someone at work who is in a
position of authority to either stop the discriminatory behavior or change the practice that is
affecting us.
The most effective way to keep your employees motivated to learn new things and grow
with the company is by making them feel safe and appreciated. A discrimination-free work
environment is vital to achieving this goal. Matters such as a worker’s sex or gender shouldn’t be
a factor in any business decision. Here are some ways that businesses can build a company
culture in which gender discrimination cannot and will not thrive. Firstly, a great way to ensure
your workers get promotions or higher pay solely based on their hard work and dedication is by
making the hiring and evaluation processes as transparent as possible. Clearly identify the
milestones workers need to reach in order to qualify for senior-level positions.

Then, sensitivity training will help companies avoid future complications and gender-
based violence or harassment, as well as the lawsuits that stem from these types of issues.
Additionally, it’s crucial to making your workers feel comfortable voicing their concerns and
coming to you when looking for a solution. Building trust in your workplace will empower
employees to be better at communicating, cooperating, and performing their everyday tasks.
