Ethnic and Cultural Differences.

According to a New York Times report, there are only 5 African-American CEOs out of Fortune 500 companies. Furthermore, a University of Wisconsin study revealed that people with African-American sounding names are 14% less likely to get a callback.

Sadly, issues from ethnic and cultural differences are still present in the workplace. There are still some individuals who hold prejudice against people who have different ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds as their own.

This prejudice and discrimination should never be tolerated in the workplace (or anywhere else). Internal company policies with clear and objective regulations should be put in place to prevent employees from demonstrating prejudice. Cultural sensitivities training and diversity awareness programs in the workplace can help address this issue.
