The workplace should be somewhere you feel at ease and be at your most productive,
yet situations of age, race and sexual discrimination create a bad atmosphere and leave those involved
feeling uncomfortable and angry or humiliated.
Employers and companies are obliged to respect non-discrimination laws that give protection against discrimination at work on the grounds of sex, disability, race, religion or sexual orientation. The issue of age discrimination is also currently under discussion and regulations are expected to be brought into UK legislation by December 2006.
