===== Definition ===== 

Co-worker segregation refers to a situation where employees are separated or isolated based on certain characteristics or factors such as race, gender, age, or hierarchy within the organization. This can occur in various ways, including physical or social separation, exclusion from certain projects or activities, or limited access to resources or opportunities.

Co-worker segregation is generally considered to be a negative practice as it undermines diversity and inclusion in the workplace. It can lead to the formation of cliques, reduced collaboration and communication, decreased employee engagement and morale, and even legal issues related to discrimination.

To address co-worker segregation and promote a more inclusive and diverse work environment, organizations should actively promote equal opportunities, create a culture of respect and inclusion, implement diversity and inclusion training programs, and ensure that workplace policies and practices are fair and non-discriminatory.

When employees feel valued, respected, and included, they are more likely to be productive, innovative, and satisfied with their work, leading to better overall organizational performance.
