Good Morning, Everyone; I hope you are doing great.

I am developing and implementing a policy of "non-discrimination based on caste" and training in my organization! And our organization is into US healthcare!!

Could you please help with the policy?

Dear Pandarinath,

You have asked for a policy on "non-discrimination based on caste". However, not just caste, there should not be discrimination on account of one's religion, region, language, skin colour, gender, marital status, physical disability, etc. Therefore, when you create a policy, call it "Equal Employment Opportunities". Equality should be maintained in recruitment, transfers and postings, promotion, etc. Please note that for the sake of maintaining equality, merit cannot be given short shrift. Therefore, opportunities should be based on competence as well as equality.

Recently news was published on how married women were denied employment in the Foxconn plant in Tamil Nadu. So, the policy on non-discrimination acquires paramount importance.

Thanks,

Dinesh Divekar

Definition:
Discrimination is the unequal or unfair treatment of a person based upon some personal characteristic.
It is defined as the different treatrnent of two equally qualified individuals on account of their gender,
race, age, disability, religion, national origin, ethnicity, pregnancy / parent hood.
Not all distinction, exclusion or preference constitutes discrimination. For instance, a merit or
performance based raise or bonus is not by itself discriminatory. Positive discrimination in favor of
people from certain underrepresented groups is legal if it is mandated by law.

Objective:
The company is committed to prohibition of discrimination based on race, color, national or ethnic
origin, age, religion, disability, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, including
a transgender identity, political opinion, pregnancy/matemity status, diseases (any chronic illness like
HIV/AIDS), membership in worker organizations, foreign/domestic migrant employee status,
retaliation, Union Affiliation or Sl,nrpathy, Family status or parbrership etc. with regard to
recruitrnent & hiring, salary, increments, incentives, promotion, demotion, discipline, transfer and
termination / separation or any other status protected by applicable law.

Scope:
This policy and procedure applies to all the employees of the company and its supply chain.
Any records and documents required shall be used in accordance with the policy and procedure.

I think it supports for your discrimination policy preparation.
