New research suggests that many workplaces are a potential hotbed of discriminatory behaviour, with peoples’ age, appearance and gender often being used against them in work settings.
A survey of 4,000 UK adults, commissioned by HR software and eLearning content provider Ciphr, found that nearly half (45%) feel that they have experienced unfair discrimination while at work or when job hunting.
Of those, nearly two-fifths (38%) say they have been discriminated against at work. And a similar number (39%) believe they’ve been turned down for a job they were qualified to do, due to discrimination of some kind during the recruitment process.
The findings show that workplace discrimination appears more common for people at the beginning of their working careers and for people from ethnic minorities (excluding white minorities).
