Assignment

Scenario: The Workplace

Read this news story (attached) of an employment (racial) discrimination lawsuit filed against Tiffany & Company.

After reading the story, what advice would you give to any employer who is concerned about prejudice and discrimination in the workplace? One of the accusations alleged in the lawsuit is that a top management official stated his surprise that a Black man is representing such a high end brand as Tiffany. What does the research show about implicit attitudes on race? Can implicit attitudes affect the way someone behaves toward others? What impact might obedience to authority have on perpetuating workplace harassment/discrimination? Please be sure to use scholarly, peer-reviewed research to support your advice and professional opinions.
