Discrimination in the workplace includes any kind of "differentiation, exclusion or preference, which has the effect of nullifying or harming the equality of opportunity or treatment of individuals in the working environment. Discrimination occurs when an individual is treated less favorably than other individuals because of characteristics unrelated to the individual's abilities or the inherent requirements of the job. Businesses should respect the principle of non-discrimination throughout the performance of their activities. Businesses should take into account the qualifications, skills and experiences of individuals where all these elements will act as a basis for the recruitment, placement, training and development of their human resources at all levels as well as encourage and support all interested parties to do the same.
