In a perfect world, everyone would just get along. Unfortunately, feelings and differences make it challenging at times to get through the day without some sort of social turmoil. However, sometimes that turmoil turns into actual discrimination or harassment. This can affect both the victim and others in the work environment.
It is known that three out of five people have witnessed or experienced discrimination at work. This statistic is specifically referring to discrimination based on age, race, gender, or lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ) identity in the workplace. To put things in perspective, if you haven't yet experienced it yourself, the people sitting next to you probably have.
Feelings of exclusion can increase if respect is not shown by all employees for everyone in the workplace. There are always challenges to overcome and disrespectful behaviors to address. This is true even in the most diverse, equitable, and inclusive organizations.
