Workplace Discrimination Project: TESCO Employees Performance Analysis

This project explores the impact of workplace discrimination on employee performance, specifically within TESCO. It begins with a literature review, drawing upon the work of Landy and Conte (2016) to define workplace discrimination and its various forms, including discrimination based on religion, race, and gender. The project highlights the negative impact of discrimination on employee performance and organizational profitability, referencing the views of Costanza and Finkelstein (2015) and Clark (2017). The project aims to understand the relationship between discrimination and employee performance, identifying factors such as organizational culture and communication. The research utilizes secondary data sources like online articles, journals, and publications to address the issue. The project concludes that businesses must provide equal opportunities to employees to mitigate the negative effects of workplace discrimination.

On the basis of views expressed by Landy and Conte, (2016), Workplace discrimination
is considered to be unethical behaviour towards to employees in which they are treated
badly. If an organization is suffering from discrimination than it is not good for their
brand image. This type of discrimination can be seen in many forms such as religion,
race, caste, age, national origin, disability, gender, parenthood etc. It can be said that if
an one of these discriminations has been executed at workplace then it simply affects
their business performance.

employees working capability and if they misses these factors then it won’t be possible
