Over the past 30 years, the Australian Government has introduced anti-discrimination laws to help protect people from discrimination and harassment.
The following laws operate at a federal level and the Australian Human Rights Commission has statutory responsibilities under them:
* Age Discrimination Act 2004
* Australian Human Rights Commission Act 1986
* Disability Discrimination Act 1992
* Racial Discrimination Act 1975
* Sex Discrimination Act 1984
The above laws strictly impose penalties that make Australian employers vigilant in implementing the same. Indeed, Australia has evolved in terms of its legislation to provide equal opportunities to its citizens, especially in terms of employment. Australian legislation on anti-discrimination and equal employment opportunities provide a foundation for the companies in Australia, especially in hiring, managing and terminating their employees.
In the Philippines, we only have the Labor Code to refer which contains provisions on equal employment opportunities. By reason of the Labor Code of the Philippines, has the Philippines improved in terms of hiring and managing human resources for companies?
Sometimes, interviewers have the tendency to ask questions to applicants such as: "Are you gay, because you look gay," without any relation to the job requirements at all. This line of questioning automatically constitutes a violation of the basic right of an individual for equal employment opportunity. This further poses a concern to some companies which have the tendency to disregard such important detail in terms of training their interviewers on the right questions to ask applicants during job interviews.
Therefore, it can be surmised that it may be good to follow the footsteps of Australia; enact laws on anti-discrimination and equal employment opportunities, providing stiff penalties in case of violation. That way, companies may always be compelled to be on their toes in observing good practices while interviewing job applicants. That may take a long while to evolve, but at least it will be a stepping stone for companies to have structured models in finding the right people for the job.
