How Discrimination Can Arise

Discrimination can occur at any stage of employment, including recruitment, promotion, or day-to-day management. There are four main forms of discrimination:

• Direct Discrimination: When an employee is treated unfairly or suffers a disadvantage because of a protected characteristic.
• Indirect Discrimination: When a company-wide policy or practice disproportionately affects certain groups without justifiable reason.
• Harassment: Unwanted or offensive behaviour related to a protected characteristic
• Victimisation: Negative treatment as a result of being involved with a discrimination or harassment complaint.

Having clear, well-documented policies, along with transparent decision-making processes, can help employers reduce the risk of discrimination claims.
