Experts warn that workplace discrimination isn’t as obvious as it used to be. While this is good on some fronts — officials have passed laws to reduce discrimination, and they’ve had an effect — that doesn’t mean the discrimination has entirely ended. In a lot of cases, it’s just more subtle now. It still exists. Here are a few examples…
If you are a woman working in a male-dominated industry, chances are good that at some point in your career trajectory, you have experienced sexual harassment and/or discrimination in the workplace. Discrimination can sometimes be subtle, such as not being asked to attend a “guy’s golfing trip” where the Chief Executive Officer mingles with male underlings out on the links,…
When people talk about workplace sexual harassment, most people think about employers and managers harassing staff. While this form of harassment is common (and illegal), it is also very common for service workers to get subjected to harassment by customers or clients.

Company culture sets the tone for not only how employees and management conducts business but also how they hire and promote.
