E. (2010), discrimination in the workplace threatens an employee's health and well-being by activating a primitive fear of exclusion, of being abandoned, creating feelings of anger, shame and denial that can lead to the collapse of its very existence. Most people have difficulty recognizing when they are being discriminated against, when they are witnessing discrimination against someone else, or when they are committing discrimination themselves within an organization. To this end, throughout history people have been excluded, marginalized, mistreated or harassed at work. As a result, you experience physical, emotional and social effects. For example, lack of energy, depression and lack of interest invariably affect work. Many employees around the world are disempowered, their basic right to work and succeed restricted, minimized and abused in the name of labels such as racism, race, class and political status and religious. Thus, the laws defining discrimination as well as the groups that are protected from discrimination vary widely. Like the UK and Australia, they have a broader view of legal protection to include sexual orientation and gender reassignment, while South Africa includes the prohibition of hatred.
