Workplace Favouritism
Favouritism in the workplace is the fear of many employees. And there is no doubt that bad management allows favouritism to flourish. All employees are entitled to and expect to be treated equally. Favouritism can cause employees to feel they have been treated unfairly or feel that there has been some form of discrimination. While it is not best practice, favouritism is not necessarily illegal. There is nothing unlawful about a manager favouring an employee or a group of employees. However, of course, if that favouritism is rooted in discrimination or goes against adverse action laws there may be a legal risk for the business
