Short Course Description
- Legal Frameworks:Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964: Prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA): Protects individuals who are 40 years of age or older from employment discrimination based on age.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): Prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs.
- Hostile Work Environment:This theory posits that discrimination occurs when unwelcome conduct based on a protected characteristic (such as race, gender, religion, etc.) creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment.
This conduct can include offensive jokes, slurs, derogatory remarks, or other verbal or physical conduct that creates a hostile or offensive work environment.
In mediation, understanding these theories helps mediators facilitate constructive dialogue, identify underlying issues, and develop effective solutions to address discrimination and create a more inclusive work environment. Mediators may help parties explore options such as training, policy revisions, cultural awareness initiatives, and conflict resolution processes to mitigate discrimination and foster a healthier workplace environment.
