Download or read book Corporate Social Responsibility and Discrimination written by Christina Keinert-Kisin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-27 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents and deconstructs the existing explanations for the differential career development of qualified men and women. It reframes the problem of discrimination in the workplace as a matter of organizational ethics, social responsibility and compliance with existing equal opportunity laws. Sensitive points are identified where social biases, decision-makers' individual economic interests and shortcomings of organizational incentive policies may lead to discrimination against qualified women. The ideas put forward are empirically tested in an original laboratory experiment that examines personnel selection in the male-dominated field of science and technology. It contrasts the selection of applicants with gendered and gender-blind applications available to subjects under controlled conditions. 30% of participants were high-level decision-makers, which is unprecedented in this field of research. The results, highly relevant for organizational practice, are explained and discussed in detail.

Download or read book Workplace Discrimination Prevention Manual written by David A. Robinson J.D and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most important color in the workplace is not black or white, but green. A company's employment decisions should be based on the bottom line, not on an employee's skin color, gender, age, ethnicity, or other discriminatory category. Businesses shouldn't care if an employee is black, white, brown, red, or some other color; they should care how well they perform their job. In Workplace Discrimination Prevention Manual, author and attorney David A. Robinson teaches employers how to prevent some of the more common types of illegal discrimination in the workplace and how to prevent or reduce the impact or likelihood of a discrimination lawsuit. He helps employers learn how to run a productive, efficient, profitable business without violating the discrimination laws. Robinson answers some of the most perplexing questions in human resource management today: - Should employers think about the race and skin color of their employees, or should employers be race-blind and color-blind? - Should supervisors be more lenient with aging and disabled employees than with other employees, or should they treat everyone the same? - Should employers treat men and women differently, or the same? Filled with innovative, practical tips, Workplace Discrimination Prevention Manual provides an easy-to-understand overview of employment discrimination law and discusses the specifics of race, ethnicity, age, religion, disability, and sexual orientation discrimination. This guidebook presents a valuable resource for executives, managers, lawyers, business students, and law students.

Download or read book The Civil Rights Act and the Battle to End Workplace Discrimination written by Raymond F. Gregory and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-08-06 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the fiftieth anniversary of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, Raymond F. Gregory evaluates our progress towards the full implementation of one of the law’s key provisions: Title VII, which prohibits discrimination in the workplace. Gregory looks at key litigation as the law has come to include discrimination based on more than just race, but on gender, age, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. From the segregationist policies of the past to lingering workplace oppression in the form of sexual harassment, age discrimination, and religious conflicts, the places we work have always been the scenes of some of our greatest civil rights battles. This study of the landmark cases and rulings, and debates surrounding workplace discrimination of all kinds sheds light on the cultural tensions we grapple with in America. Gregory also looks at the broader history of oppression suffered, recognized, and overcome, in the 50 years since this country passed its Civil Rights Act. In addition to a detailed history of the legal history of civil rights and America’s workplace discrimination, this book also outlines positive ways forward for our society as we continue to diversify and redefine what it means to be respectful of our fellow citizens’ most inalienable, protected, and sacred rights.
Download or read book Gower Handbook of Discrimination at Work written by Hazel Conley and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Workplace discrimination is an experience that, despite four decades of equality legislation, continues to blight the lives of thousands every year. Discrimination persists on the protected grounds of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion or belief and gender reassignment, as well as where no legal protection exists such as in relation to class background or migration status. The Handbook discusses recent changes in equality legislation as well as considering the limitations of legal frameworks in addressing inequality. However, complying with the law is only the first step towards addressing discrimination in the workplace, and the book goes beyond the law and provides evidence of good practice in promoting organisational culture change, as well as considering future directions for policy on equality action. The Gower Handbook of Discrimination at Work looks at both social justice and business case perspectives, and its message is not a negative one. The contributors have considerable depth of understanding of workplace discrimination, both as academics and equality practitioners, their work has contributed to policy formation and all are committed to improving the lives of people at work. They offer insights into existing international developments and make suggestions for the ways in which positive change can be realised. Practitioners, such as human resources professionals and other managers involved in addressing equality at work, trade unionists, equality trainers, and academics concerned with researching or teaching in the areas of employment and equality will all find this book of interest. Furthermore, it will be of value to students in the fields of business and management, employment law, equality and diversity and human resource management.

Book excerpt: This comprehensive, two-volume handbook compiles the current case law, management practices, and social science research on workplace discrimination, including federal- and state-protected categories. Despite guidelines for investigating complaints of discrimination and establishing preventative measures, statistics indicate that employers may not be properly implementing antidiscrimination laws in their organizations. The Praeger Handbook on Understanding and Preventing Workplace Discrimination was written to provide companies with the necessary toolkits to prevent all types of discrimination in the workplace-and to deal with them if and when they occur. This two-volume handbook offers employers a comprehensive approach to understanding, preventing, and dealing with hostile work environments through an integrated model that encompasses legal responsibilities, management theories and practice, and social science research. Volume one provides an overview of workplace discrimination through an examination of federally protected categories, such as age, disability, equal compensation, national origin, pregnancy, race/color, religion, sex, and sexual harassment. Volume two offers strategies related to "reasonable care" in terms of preventing workplace discrimination through policies, procedures, and training programs.
