Anti-Discrimination

What is Anti-Discrimination?

Anti-discrimination refers to laws, policies, and practices designed to prevent unfair treatment of individuals based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, or national origin. In the workplace, anti-discrimination measures ensure that hiring, promotion, compensation, and termination decisions are based on merit and job-related criteria rather than personal attributes. Employers are typically required to comply with federal, state, and local anti-discrimination legislation and to establish internal policies that promote equal treatment for all employees.
