What Is Workplace Discrimination?
Workplace discrimination occurs when you are treated unfairly because of who you are. Under the Equality Act 2010, this includes age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation. Employees have legal protection and there are formal and informal ways to address discrimination, harassment, bullying, and victimisation at work.
