been conducted through which systemic evaluation or analysis of research questions is being
done:
Various forms of discrimination present in the workplace of company
According to the view point of Hamada, 2020, a workplace is defined as a location in

roles and responsibilities to fulfil organisational objectives and aims. It has been evaluated that it
is essential for an organisation to make sure that there is no discrimination prevails in their
workplace structure as it can badly affect their long term sustainability and brand visibility.
However, according to the perception of Kumuthavalli, 2020, there various types of
discrimination can be founded in workplace. In this some of the certain factors on which workers
get discriminated in related to age, disability, race, national origin, pregnancy, religious,
gender/sex, sexual orientation, equal pay discrimination and more (WHAT ARE DIFFERENT
FORMS OF DISCRIMINATION?. 2018).
In addition to this, it has been evaluated that workplace discrimination can be direct,
indirect or both. In term with direct discrimination which is also known as disparate
discrimination mainly takes place when any individual treats or encourages other person to treat
someone badly because of their protected class (Gurca, Markovic and Koporcic, 2020). Further it
has been analysed that this form of discrimination mainly undertakes place due to stereotypes
that has been made about qualities and abilities of those individuals who are in protected classes.
While on the other hand, if it is talked about indirect discrimination it occurs when a condition or

policy is being duly get imposed which is having disadvantage, side effects upon protected group

it will aid them in creating more positive workplace environment in which individuals creatively

play most important role for entity sustainable growth and expansion. Along with this, it will
also aid entity to appeal to wide base of consumers, as if employees get positive treatment then
they will deliver their best contribution in company goals and objectives. In addition to this,
