    Older employees may face challenges in hiring and advancement, despite their experience and qualifications.
  • Disability
    Qualified individuals with disabilities may encounter barriers to employment, including outright refusal to hire.

Addressing Employment Discrimination

  2. Policy Development
    Establishing clear anti-discrimination policies helps set standards and expectations within the workplace.
  3. Reporting Mechanisms
