An organization that practice peer reinforcement tends to be successful since this helps in encouraging the employees in speaking up their minds whenever they witness any kind of harassment within the organization. Most Organizations have lost their works because of age discrimination among the workers in the working place, however, other employees tend not to be the target of the discrimination, but they might be the next targeted group who do not want to work for a discriminatory organization. When employees leave the company for another company, it is evidently true that the productivity level will go down therefore making the company to lose the potentials of the employees against competitors.
Age discrimination can impact the company by damaging the productivity level. The knowledge of age discrimination by the employees can create an environment which is negative along with company management that has a poor perception causing a reduction in the number of workers therefore increasing the productivity of the discriminatory organization. Workers on the other hand might become concerned...
Lastly, age discrimination can make the company to lose the extensive work experience and the employees knowledge, take a case where the company fires an older employees so as to recruit younger employees, the company may end up losing also the years of experience of that old employee which could have been be used in helping the business so as to gain its competitive advantage. In summary, age discrimination is wrong and companies should eliminate age discrimination so as to be successful as well as able to gain the competitive advantage.
