A recent study by Gi Group Holding has highlighted that inequality and discrimination in the workplace continue to be significant issues for many workers. According to the report “The Keys to the Current Labor Market,” 15.6% of respondents have witnessed or experienced discrimination or microaggressions at work, indicating that, despite efforts to promote diversity and inclusion, notable gaps remain in workplace practices.
Among the main forms of discrimination, participants identified age (21.4%), gender (20.5%), and socioeconomic status (15.5%). Notably, there are gender differences in the perception of these discriminations: men cite age as the primary cause (28.5%), while women lean towards gender (25.2%). Young people aged 26 to 35 are the most likely to have witnessed cases of discrimination, while those aged 35 to 54 report experiencing it more directly, at 17.3%.
The report also reveals that more than half of respondents believe diversity is part of corporate culture, although many think initiatives should be more visible. However, 41% of participants maintain that biases continue to affect hiring and promotion processes, especially among women and younger workers.
Regarding areas that need improvement, 30% of professionals indicate that Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging policies should encompass not only hiring but also professional development. This view is more pronounced among those aged 26 to 35. Additionally, 22.4% advocate for the implementation of education and awareness programs for all employees.
The analysis also shows a generational gap in terms of development opportunities in the workplace. While 53.8% assert that workers over 50 enjoy the same opportunities as younger employees, men tend to make this claim more frequently than women. However, participants indicated that older workers face challenges such as adapting to technology, generational differences, and stereotypes about their capacity for innovation.
On the other hand, only 31% of workers believe that young people have the same opportunities as their older colleagues. Among those aged 18 to 25, there is greater confidence in equal opportunities, while less than 30% of those over 55 feel the same. Older workers mention a lack of experience and pressure to quickly adapt to new skills as significant challenges.
This analysis demonstrates that, despite advancements towards workplace equity, numerous challenges remain that companies must address to ensure a truly inclusive and diverse environment.
