Assignment: Preventing Workplace DiscriminationWhen it comes to discrimination and harassment, legal compliance should be the minimum standard that leadership teams set for their organizations. It is important to foster a culture where it is widely understood that these violations are completely unacceptable. However, even in workplaces where proactive policies and procedures are in place to prevent problems, it only takes one individual to infringe upon another’s rights. When these instances occur, it is the responsibility of HR professionals to have a solid understanding not only of their companies’ policies, but also the legal requirements for how to proceed.In this Assignment, you will respond to a set of questions on the historical significance of antidiscrimination laws, HR’s role in handling discrimination, and the benefits of diversity and diversity programs. You will review case studies and scenarios from the lens of an HR professional and apply HR practices to address the discrimination and harassment issues found within them.To prepare for this Assignment:Review this week’s Learning Resources, including the three case studies/scenarios that you will use to complete this week’s Assignment: “Case 3-1 English Only: One Hotel’s Dilemma,” the John and Amala Scenario, and the Melvin, Julie, and Tina ScenarioSubmit your responses to the following prompts.
