Often, when people focus on the impact of discrimination, they look at the direct impact that mistreatment in the workplace has on an employee. While these challenges are significant and we have covered many on our blog, it is important to realize that the consequences of discrimination in the workplace often disrupt the lives of many other people. For example, when someone is discriminated against at their job, there are a variety of ways in which their spouse and even children are likely to suffer as well.
For starters, discrimination is often very difficult for victims from an emotional point of view. Negative emotions such as stress, depression and even anger are common, and these emotions often weigh on those who live with a family member experiencing these hardships. There are a lot of other ways in which discrimination directly impacts entire families. For example, if someone is demoted, unable to find work or even fired as a result of discrimination, this likely places significant financial burdens on their family.
These are just a few different ways in which discrimination in the workplace affects entire families and many other problems arise for people facing these hardships. From pregnancy status to religious views and racial background, there are all sorts of reasons why people are targeted in the workplace and treated unfairly. This behavior cannot continue and past occurrences of discrimination often require action as well.
