What is Anti-Discrimination Policy?

A formal workplace policy that prohibits unfair treatment of employees or job applicants based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, age, disability, religion, or national origin.

Why it matters in hiring

Anti-Discrimination Policy comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
