Script for the above Video
Did you know you could be experiencing workplace discrimination without even realising it? Let’s look at five hidden signs of discrimination in the workplace you should watch out for.
1. Unfair Recruitment Practices:
"If you weren’t hired because of your name, age, or background, that’s discrimination. It can be subtle, like asking for a ‘recent graduate’ when age isn’t relevant to the job."
2. Being Passed Over for Promotions:
"If you’re consistently overlooked for advancement while less qualified colleagues move ahead, your employer’s decisions could be based on bias."
3. Unequal Pay:
"If a colleague in a similar role earns more than you without a clear reason, this might be pay discrimination—especially if it’s linked to gender, race, or another protected characteristic."
4. Lack of Reasonable Adjustments:
"Employers must accommodate disabilities. If your employer refuses adjustments like flexible working hours or specialised equipment - that could be discrimination."
5. Subtle Exclusion or Microaggressions:
"Regularly being left out of meetings, projects, or social events? It might not just be office politics—it could be discriminatory behaviour."
