Worker segregation refers to the separation of workers based on certain characteristics or criteria, such as race, gender, age, or job role. This can lead to unequal treatment and opportunities for different groups of workers, ultimately creating a divided workforce. Worker segregation can result in discrimination, lower morale, and decreased productivity in the workplace. Organizations should strive to promote inclusivity and diversity among their employees to create a more harmonious and equitable work environment.
