Workplace Discrimination
Don’t Let Discrimination in the Workplace Affect Your Career
Understanding Workplace Discrimination
Discrimination in the workplace isn’t always obvious. It can be a subtle look, a dismissive comment, or an unspoken assumption. But even in its most subtle forms, discrimination can have a significant impact on your career, your well-being, and your sense of self-worth. It’s a violation of your rights, and it’s simply not acceptable.
Sibley Lawyers believes everyone deserves to feel safe and respected at work. We know the complexities of workplace discrimination law and are committed to helping you navigate this challenging experience. We’re here to empower you with the knowledge and legal support you need to fight back against unfair treatment and discrimination in the workplace and reclaim your workplace.
If you have experienced any form of workplace discrimination, it’s important to remember that you are not alone. Our legal team is here to help you understand your rights, explore your options, and take action to achieve a just outcome.
What exactly constitutes discrimination in the workplace?
It happens when an employer or colleague treats you unfairly because of a personal characteristic protected by law. These protected attributes include:
Discrimination based on the shade of your skin.
Treating someone unfairly because they are male or female.
Including discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and heterosexual individuals.
Discrimination based on a person’s gender identity, including transgender and gender-diverse individuals.
Treating someone less favourably because of their age, particularly older workers.
Including physical, intellectual, and mental disabilities.
Discrimination based on religious beliefs or practices.
Whether you are single, married, divorced, or widowed.
Discrimination based on pregnancy or potential pregnancy.
Where a person’s ancestors came from.
A person’s social background or class.

It's Not Always Obvious
Recognising the Subtleties of Discrimination
Workplace discrimination isn’t always as clear-cut as being fired because of your race or being denied a promotion due to your gender. It can be far more subtle, weaving its way into everyday interactions and decisions, often leaving you feeling confused and unsure whether you’re truly experiencing discrimination or simply misinterpreting the situation.
One of the challenges in identifying discrimination is that it can manifest in countless ways. It might be a pattern of being excluded from important meetings, consistently being assigned less desirable tasks, or receiving less support and mentorship than your colleagues. It could also be a feeling of being overlooked for opportunities, having your ideas dismissed, or facing microaggressions that chip away at your confidence and sense of belonging.
These subtle forms of discrimination can be just as damaging as overt acts of prejudice. They can hinder your career progression, create a hostile work environment, and take a significant toll on your emotional well-being. Recognising these subtle signs is crucial in taking the first step towards addressing the issue and seeking the justice you deserve.
