SKILLS FOR MANAGERS - 08 Avoid Discrimination is a course that explores how discrimination, unconscious biases and microaggressions can all have a detrimental impact on a person's health and wellbeing. While workplace discrimination is illegal in many countries, complaints continue to be lodged on the basis of perceived or actual discriminatory treatment.
