Prevent National Origin Discrimination
Key Points
National origin discrimination involves treating job applicants or employees unfavorably because such individuals are from a particular country or part of the world, are a certain ethnicity, or have a certain accent or manner.
An employer should incorporate national origin discrimination and harassment into its discrimination and harassment policies.
All preemployment inquiries and hiring processes should be free of national origin bias.
Diversity training can also help to promote an atmosphere of tolerance, and decrease the potential for national origin discrimination.
An employer should proceed cautiously when it comes to ethnic slurs and stereotypes at work, language fluency requirements and English-only policies.
