Recognizing Workplace Discrimination
Workplace discrimination can take various forms, including:

• Unfair treatment based on protected characteristics: Such as race, gender, age, disability, religion, or sexual orientation.
• Harassment: Including verbal, physical, or visual conduct that creates a hostile work environment or results in adverse employment decisions.
• Retaliation: Punitive actions taken against an employee for reporting discrimination or participating in a discrimination investigation.

Steps to Take If You’re Facing Harassment
If you’re experiencing harassment or discrimination in the workplace, it’s crucial to take the following steps:

• Document Incidents: Keep detailed records of any discriminatory or harassing behavior, including dates, times, witnesses, and the nature of the incidents.
• Report the Behavior: Report the harassment or discrimination to your employer’s HR department or a supervisor. Follow the company’s established procedures for reporting such incidents.
• Seek Support: Reach out to supportive colleagues, friends, or family members for emotional support during this challenging time.
• Consult with an Attorney: If the harassment or discrimination persists despite reporting it, consider consulting with a lawyer specializing in employment law to explore your legal options.

Legal Remedies for Workplace Discrimination
Victims of workplace discrimination may pursue various legal remedies, including:

• Internal Resolution: Resolving the issue internally through mediation, negotiation, or other dispute resolution methods within the company.
• Filing a Charge: Filing a discrimination charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or state fair employment agency.
