What Is Workplace Discrimination?

Workplace discrimination occurs when an individual is treated unfairly or harassed based on personal characteristics protected by law. It creates a toxic environment, undermines morale, and exposes the company to significant legal risk. Everyone deserves the right to work in a respectful and inclusive environment.

Types of Discrimination to Report

If you experience or witness discrimination based on any of the following, it is your responsibility to report it through our anonymous Proctor Ethics Line:

• Age Discrimination – Unfair treatment of an employee based on their age.

• Ethnic Discrimination – Unfair treatment based on a person’s ethnicity, nationality, or origin.

• Gender Discrimination – Unequal treatment or harassment based on sex, gender identity, or pregnancy.

Why Reporting Discrimination Matters

• Upholds Company Values: Promotes a culture of respect, dignity, and equal opportunity for all.

• Protects Employees: Safeguards individuals from a hostile work environment and psychological harm.

• Mitigates Legal Risk: Helps the company address issues proactively before they escalate into lawsuits or regulatory penalties.

• Improves Morale & Productivity: A fair workplace boosts employee engagement, retention, and overall performance.
