WORKPLACE DISCRIMINATION AND ITS IMPACT ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE

Abstract

Discrimination hurts everybody in its path. Discrimination diminishes human capital whiles creating a hostile work environment for the employers and employees. Discrimination at work has come a long way in recent decades. It has learned to conceal itself even from those who make it happen. But it is still there, despite decades of activism, legislation and human resources programmes to counter it and to promote an appreciation of diversity. Discrimination may be ever so slight, yet many of us have seen its effects. The objective of this study therefore is to assess workplace discrimination and its impact on employee performance in the Ghana Police Service.
