Literature Review
Concept of discrimination at workplace of an organisation
As per view of (Ali and Konrad, A. M., 2016) concept of discrimination among
employees in the workplace have been emerged since many years that have resulted in
ineffective performance of organisation. There are some organisation in which HR manager
discriminate between employees on basis of distribution of opportunities so that they can grow
and develop new skills and knowledge. Many employees are discriminated within workplace on
basis of genders such as unequal pay or over time work that leads to dissatisfaction among
employees. It can be stated that individual have been exploited within organisation on various
factors that have lead to more employment turnover, increase in chance of absentees and
decrease in overall performance and productivity of individual. Therefore government have
make strict law, rules and regulation such as equality act, Equal wages so that no harm can be
caused to employees that are working in the organisation.
Impact of workplace discrimination over working and performance of employees in Walmart
As noted by (Novy and Weinzierl, C., 2019) discrimination within workplace of Walmart
have adversely impacted on performance of employees as it lead to dissatisfaction. HR manager
by discriminating among employees have increase chance of conflict and lead to ineffective
coordination of efforts to different individual towards common goals. Most of the employees are
not willing to work with such company that does not take active part to provide equal
opportunities to all to use their capabilities and skills for growth and success of organisation.
Therefore it can be stated that discrimination among employees can impact on brand image,
quality of products and services manufactured by company and loss of highly skilled and
talented employees within organisation.
Different ways by which Walmart can eliminate issue of discrimination at workplace
As illustrated by (Scott-Baumann and et.al., 2019) there are various method that can be
used by HR manager of walmart to reduce inequality and discrimination among employees so
that particular outcome can be gained. Firstly leaders need to understand view, ideas and opinion
of each employee while taking decision so that they can be motivated to put their best for growth
and success of firm. HR manager while hiring, planning for growth and development of
employees need not to discriminate on terms of gender, age, sex and caste in order to maintain
strong brand image of enterprise. Proper training and development program need to be organised
