The effects of discrimination include all of the following: decreased employee productivity, unhappy employees, financial impact on employers, physical effects on employees and legal issues for employers. Being treated differently solely based on your gender, sexual orientation, race, etc. can certainly anger employees. This type of discrimination forms a sort of glass ceiling, which does not allow certain people to progress in a company based on their gender, sexual orientation, race, etc. When employees leave their jobs to escape workplace discrimination, employers must spend money to recruit and replace the lost employee. Many studies show that discrimination in the workplace causes stress for the victim. Thus, victims of discrimination can take antidepressant medications to combat stress. An employee can also take legal action against the company. If a company is found guilty by the U.S. EEOC and believes discrimination is occurring in the workplace, both parties will receive a "letter of determination" stating that there is reason to believe that discrimination has taken place. Once this happens, both parties are invited to join with the agency in seeking a resolution through an informal process called conciliation. Workplace discrimination has many effects on both the victim and the business in which it occurs. If discrimination in the workplace was avoided, both the company and the worker would save time, money and workplace stress.
