What is an Anti-Discrimination Policy?

An anti-discrimination policy is an overarching statement on a set of rules and protocols that are adopted by an organization to enable compliance with anti-discrimination laws.

The policy aims to prohibit discrimination based on race, colour, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or other characteristics and to create equal employment opportunities for all. An anti-discrimination policy may be adopted by any business, government agency, educational institution or other type of organization.

The policy typically sets forth the organization’s commitment to non-discrimination and equal opportunity.

The policy should list the protected characteristics and outline the procedures for filing and resolving complaints of discrimination. The policy may also specify the consequences for violating the policy, such as termination of employment or expulsion from the organization.

How to Report Discrimination at Work

A person who believes that they have been subjected to discrimination should report the incident to senior management or human resources.

All reports of discrimination should be promptly investigated. Confidentiality should always be maintained throughout the investigation process to the extent that it is practicable under the circumstances.
