Definition

Professional segregation refers to the practice of systematically excluding or isolating certain groups of individuals based on their race, gender, ethnicity, religion, or other characteristics in the workplace. This can manifest in various ways, such as limiting opportunities for advancement, assigning lower-status tasks or roles, or segregating employees physically or socially within the organization. Professional segregation can have negative effects on the individuals affected, as well as on the overall organizational culture and productivity. Organizations should work to eliminate professional segregation by promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of the workplace.
