Age Discrimination

Age discrimination refers to the unfair treatment of individuals based on their age, typically involving negative stereotypes, biases, or prejudice. It can manifest in various forms, including in hiring, promotions, compensation, layoffs, or even in day-to-day interactions in the workplace. Age discrimination primarily affects older workers, although it can also occur against younger individuals. HR should be vigilant in addressing and preventing age discrimination to ensure a fair, inclusive, and legally compliant workplace.
