The employees in an organization come from various races, religions, castes, ethnicity, and language, etc. And generally, the employees have no sense of behavior with others with they may have a discriminating mindset. Sometimes, while talking, or group lunches they show their discriminating behavior that ends up spoiling the moment and becomes an embarrassment for the victim and the people around. So, to avert such cases the organizations formulate their policies and announce these with certain words such as “zero tolerance for discrimination”.
