As you think about the rights of workers enhanced by anti-discrimination laws, have society and organizations become more tolerant and competitive due to less discrimination in the workplace?
Based on the assigned readings and your own research into the major Federal anti-discrimination laws that impact both employees and organizations, write a paper analyzing the significant changes that have occurred since 1990. For example, are these anti-discrimination laws providing more protections for employees such as preventing sexual harassment or more opportunities in organizations for the disabled? Are these anti-discrimination laws changing the culture of organizations so that there is more tolerance of individual employee differences? What have been the impacts of these changes? Explain why these changes are or are not necessary for gaining a competitive advantage in a global economy.
