In the employment
discrimination lawsuit, there are losses that could be faced by the company as
it loss the reputation of the company. Creating an environment that is
favorable for all the employees without any discrimination is necessary to gain
the success in the market. EEOC claims for the additional cost that must an
employer pay to meet the loss of the employees and must be in the compliances
of the company. Employers required designing different strategies that are
required to adopt in the prevention of the discrimination at the workplace.
There is no need to implement lawsuit in the organization but some compliances
and regulations that must be followed by the employees. Employers or the
management of the company must take strong measures to deal with the problem of
employee’s discrimination, harassment as well as retaliation could be avoid
EEOC charges and lawsuits.
Implement and incorporate a
severe arrangement that makes business discrimination of any kind prohibited in
your working environment. The strategy needs to cover business partition,
irritation, and argue against. The arrangement ought to incorporate a procedure
for announcing any episodes of work segregation, harass, or retaliation to the
organization. The agreement ought to impart how a representative protest will
be dealt with a layout of steps taken to support the employees without any
discrimination (McMahon, West, Mansouri, & Belongia., 2005).
The approach might to talk
about the idea of oppose, and pressure that punishment is most likely a type of
segregation. At long last, the business discrimination arrangement ought to
contain a deception procedure for workers who are disappointed with the result
of their irritable behavior of the management. Train your supervisors in the
execution of the counter discremination approach with the desire that
counteraction is their obligation. Supervisors must perceive signs and side
effects that discrimination, badgering, or reprisal is happening and skill to
address these illicit activities. Business segregation, harassing, retaliation,
harassing, discrimination, and potential viciousness should all be tended to
together as not allowed in your working environment.
What are
examples of damages awarded to complainants in cases similar to those mentioned in the EEOC article?
There are number of cases
that are filed, resolved and adjusted since 1964 about the prohibition of race
color etc. here are some cases that are related to public and private sectors
from 2003 to onward, some are illustrated:
·
In January 2007, the Commission discovered
discrimination dependent on race (African-American) when a government worker
was not selected for the situation of Criminal Investigator in spite of
doubtlessly better capabilities as thought about than the selected employees (Munroe, 1995).
The director who suggested the selected employees, disregarded complainant's
capabilities and was accounted for to have recently told another
African-American candidate that his "Dark ass could never turn into a
specialist." The Commission asserted the AJ's finding of discrimination
and requested the retroactive advancement of complainant, back compensation,
compensatory loss ($75,000), lawyer's expenses, and other help.
·
In November 2006, the Commission found that a
government representative had been victimized dependent on his race
(Asian/Pacific Islander) when he was not chosen for the situation of Social
Insurance Specialist. The Commission attested the AJ's finding that the
office's explained purpose behind neglecting to choose complainant the selected
was "strongly suggested" to the choosing official was not deserving
of confidence since complainant was "certainly suggested" and that
discrimination more probable persuaded the organization's choice. The
Commission requested the retroactive advancement of complainant, back
compensation, compensatory harms ($5,000), lawyer's expenses, and other help.
·
In March 2008, the Commission asserted the AJ's
finding of race (Native American) and national source (Cherokee Nation)
discrimination where complainant had his life cooperated by a customer and the
office never took important activities to stop the badgering. The AJ found that
a client eternally stressed complainant by, among different activities,
alluding to complainant as a "useless Indian, moronic Indian, and
dumb." The Commission attested the honor of $50,000 in non-monetary problems
because of complainant's passionate affliction, repossession of leave,
installment of expenses, and mileage. The Commission likewise requested
preparing of mindful authorities, thought of control, and the posting of a
notification however dismissed the AJ's honor of $6,903.87 in bringing costs
for complainant's deal to a close of his home as being too theoretical to even
consider connecting to the oppressive direct.
What are
some actions that you would take as a Human Resource Manager to prevent some of the allegations detailed in the
lawsuits described in the EEOC
article?
As above discussed that
the working place is more critical place where everyone must be interrelated
with each other to meet and work together for the attaining of the common
objectives in the business. There must be complete hold of the management to take
check and balance on the performance as well as behavior of the employees with
each other. Some employers are working as management by themselves and some are
based on the policies of the human resources management in the business
activities. As a human resource management there should be proper implications
of the compliances that must be adopted by the employers. I as working in human
resource management department, I must be careful that there is no
discrimination in the company. There are different ways to prevent the
employment discrimination that could be in the form of litigation and
documentation. These steps are:
Ø
To act timely in the organization’s work so that
there could be complete information about the complaint made by employees about
harassment or retaliation.
Ø
There must be accomplishment about the culture
and norms that are necessary to put in the organization.
Ø
There must be mandatory that every employee
should attend the training program so that he could be able to make the better
performance by knowing about his rights.
Ø
There should be complete eye of HR department on
the workers so if there is any discrepancy mangers could find it at initial
stage (Meier, Pennington, & Eller., 2005).
