Outline and describe what briefly what is meant by Anti-Discrimination, and how it would affect your role as a customer services manager? The similarity between Anti-Discrimination can be drawn with what parents teach their children about sharing with everyone and being fair to everyone, having only difference that discrimination practices can result into shelling out hefty fines. The aim of Anti-Discrimination Legislation is creating equality between all persons by illegalization of racial, sexual, and other types of discrimination. Organizations operating in Australia are subjected to work in compliance with a key legislation namely Anti-Discrimination, which ensures that customers are protected from becoming the victims of racial discrimination for the sales of products or supply of services, that includes retail, hospitality, finance and housing. A customer cannot be treated differently based on his/her race, and in case of being discriminated or refusing entry to any store, outlet or mall etc. based on certain race, the company can face lawsuit for a potential discrimination claim. Anti-discrimination would affect my role as a customer service manager in a situation for instance, if I refuse a customer to enter the shop just because of he/she is wearing clothes related to their religious beliefs making me suspicious or because he/she belongs to a particular religion, then I might be accused of discriminating between customers and face legal trials, affecting the reputation of the shop. |
