Discrimination

This is where I found this article: http://www.businessweek.com/smallbiz/content/jun2006/sb20060606_087038.htm

The article discusses the negative effects that discrimination creates especially for women and minorities. Supporting discriminatory policies can in fact hurt a company. It can limit the company's competition by restricting certain groups or employees that truly have the qualifications and could make a difference in the business, but they're discriminated against. The overall morale could change if the employees feel that the company is causing negative attitudes by basing someone off of their gender or race. Job applicants can actually sense that something is wrong and if they are not hired then they will then spread the word to other people that may want to be hired by that specific employer. It could even become a big enough deal that the company would be in legal trouble. I totally agree with the author. Discrimination only causes negative effects to businesses and society.
