Principle of non-discrimination

A person may be discriminated, that is, treated differently from others, in daily life but also at work. To address this problem, the principle of non-discrimination applies.

Definition of the principle of non-discrimination

The principle of non-discrimination has been codified in the Labor Code. It aims to ensure equal treatment between individuals.

This principle establishes that a person can not be discriminated against because of:

- his origin;

- his sex;

- his manners;

- his gender identity;

- his age;

- his family status or pregnancy;

- his genetic characteristics;

- his belonging or not belonging, true or supposed, to an ethnic group, a nation or an alleged race;

- his political opinions;

- his trade union or mutualist activities;

- his religious convictions;

- his physical appearance;

- his last name;

- his place of residence;

- his bank domiciliation;

- his state of health, loss of autonomy or disability;

- the precariousness of his economic situation, apparent or known to the author of the decision;

- his ability to speak in a language other than mother language;

Measures of discrimination may be direct or indirect. Direct discrimination occurs when a person is treated less favorably than another in a comparable situation and on non-objective criteria.

Indirect discrimination refers to provisions, criteria or practices which are apparently neutral, but which may lead to disadvantage.

The principle of non-discrimination applied to labor law

Concretely, the principle of non-discrimination prohibits an employer from making distinctions in the treatment between employees. he can not take into account elements inherent to an employee or his or her activities in order to take a decision concerning him or her in terms of hiring, dismissal, remuneration, training, entrusted tasks, prospects for change in the company, etc.

Good to know: in any company employing at least 300 employees and in any recruitment company, recruiters are trained knowing about non-discrimination at hiring at least once every five years.

The principle of non-discrimination protects employees, trainees and apprentices. If the employer fails to comply with this principle, he is liable to criminal penalties. An employee found guilty of discrimination incurs also disciplinary penalties.

Good to know: unequal treatment can be allowed to meet an essential professional requirement.

Group action to combat discrimination

Law on the modernization of justice introduced the possibility of group action in the field of discrimination.

This group action is possible when several persons in a similar situation have been directly or indirectly discriminated against on the same ground by the same person (private or public). May aim at the cessation of discrimination, but also redressing the harm suffered by the victims.

Group action is carried out:

* for discriminations committed outside a work relationship or against candidates for employment or intership: by associations duly registered for five years, whose statutory purpose involves the defense of interests to which they have been infringed;

* for discriminations committed at work: by representative trade unions (at national, branch or company level).

Good to know: the rules of procedures applicable to group actions should be specified by a decree.

Learning to Say No at Work

Why so many difficulties in saying "no" at work? In your unconscious, saying "no" generates fear of harming relationships with colleagues (fear of being judged, hurt, fear of conflict, being rejected from the group). Saying "no" can also generate fear with his hierarchy (fear of being considered lazy, fear of being replaced or even dismissed).

In reality, the "no" guarantees value to your "yes", setting the limits between what is realistic and achievable, legal, in your skills and desirable for your career. The "no" is a sign of respect and assertiveness. The whole thing is to say "no" with respect and explanation.

Here are some tips to learn how to say no at work.

Know what you need to do in your work

To be effective in your work, set limits on certain queries. In determining the goals of your job, list your priorities.

List what you have to do

To be able to say a "no" argued, you must know what you absolutely have to do in the day or in the next three days. You will thus be yourself persuaded that even with the best will in the world, you really can not say "yes" to a new task. To say "no" will no longer be selfishness but realism.

* List all projects, folders, or activities (an activity is a tasks group) of your post.

* Cut each project, folder, or activity into a tasks list. Every day, make a list of things to do:

- begin by scheduling the important and urgent tasks of the day: to do absolutely.

- then make those that are important but not urgent today: to do if there is time.

- finish with those that are neither important nor urgent at this time: to do if there is time if the other tasks are carried out.

Integrate your list into a global schedule

Every day, integrate your list into a schedule. Consider evaluating the duration of each task:

* Plan your schedule on the week so you will have a clear view of your activity and your availability.

* Take a color code by priority type. Ensure that there are always three types of tasks in your days, leaving you with flexibility to respond to unforeseen circumstances.

Attention: a non-urgent task today may become urgent tomorrow.

Take stock of your available time

You must always have in mind and on paper (or on screen) your priorities and realize that by always being there for others you can not focus on your work.

Your "no" will then be more easily understood. Thanks to your planning, you are able to explain your refusal.

Learning to say "no" at work to set limits

It is important to set limits, to differentiate an abusive request from a simple one-off boost.

* If the request is not part of your mission and therefore within your field of competence, you may encounter great difficulties if you say "yes".

Example: To decline, you can answer: "I understand that you need help, but I am embarrassed to have to refuse because I can not carry out this type of task".

* If the request concerns an infringement of labor law or safety, refuse.

Example: To decline, you can answer: "I understand but I can not accept this request. I do not want to take that risk under the law or I do not agree to take that risk".

You will be surprised at the reaction of your interlocutors, who will most often appreciate your very professional arguments. A "no" must always be in a relationship of respect and must be explained. It is the brutal "no" that hurts and assaults.

The interlocutors accept the message, because you clearly and completely assert yourself without colliding and without losing touch. Express yourself with your own personality without arousing hostility around you. Know to say "no" without feeling guilty because you are right.

Assert yourself by the "no", without imposing yourself

By the "no", you assert to others your values, your opinions, your professionalism, your place. Know to communicate without imposing yourself respecting always the others.

Care for your communication

Knowing to say "no" goes through a quality communication:

* Look at your interlocutor in the eyes: you thus manifest your sincerity and you will only be more credible. A tendency to look on the floor or elsewhere reveals your lack of self-confidence. Conversely, if you look too hard at your contact person, he may feel uncomfortable.

* Put yourself on the same level as your interlocutor: sitting if he is sitting, standing if he is standing. This establishes a relationship of equality.

* Punctuate your words with appropriate gestures. This can underline the important, open and warm character of your remarks.

* Adopt an expression that is consistent with what you say.

* Master your voice. Stay calm.

* Take care of your speech. If your answer is filled with long periods of hesitation, you may give the impression that you lack self-confidence.

* Listen, point your attention to the person you are talking to: take the time to answer. 

To give you time, think out loud about the issue, how difficult it is for you, the alternatives you see.

Formulate your answer with the following method:

- I: start your sentence with "I".

- Empathy: consider your interlocutor: "I understand".

- Emotion: yours and those of your interlocutor: "I am embarrassed to have to refuse, I understand that this can put you in a difficult situation".

- Precis: be direct: "No, I can not because I have three files to complete myself, in two days".

- Persistent: if the person insists, repeat (up to three times: technique of the striped disc): "No, I understand that you are overwhelmed but I also have a lot of work".

- Solutions: propose a solution, another way to go, another person...

CV: what recruiters look first

When writing your CV/resume, be sure to highlight what is important, ie what recruiters look first.

Awaken curiosity by the form of the CV

Your resume should be remarkable to be read. To do this, it must:

* Be clear, and for that:

- bet on a simple and neat presentation.

- generally, it is advisable to divide your CV into 3 parts: professional experience, personal training and information. Try to highlight these three parts so that the recruiter easily finds the information he is looking for.

* Distinguish yourself from others, by a reflective, original layout or a special typography, but be careful not to overdo it!

Good to know: do not overload your resume. We do not want to read when there is too much and it is written very small!

To catch the eye of the recruiter in seconds, also consider putting a title to your resume composed of the targeted post.

Attention: wanting to attract the attention of the recruiter by a photo can have the opposite effect. While some recruiters appreciate it, others are afraid of being charged with discrimination. Knowing that only 3% of recruiters look at the photo first, it is up to you to see.

Include ad keywords in your CV

One of the other things the recruiter looks at immediately is if he finds the ad keywords in your resume. The keywords can be:

* Qualities (to be put in the personal skills);

* Missions (see if they overlap one of your previous experiences);

* Motivations (try to match your hobbies without lying).

If you think you have skills or passions that are of particular interest to him, feel free to put them in bold. So, the recruiter will see right away that your profile can match what he is looking for.

Present your professional experience

42% of recruiters look first at the professional experience of a candidate, so pay close attention to writing:

* If you have already worked, place this part first on your resume;

* If you are a recent graduate, wait a few more years: positioning your summer job at the top of the page may seem inadequate, unless it is related to the concerned sector.

For each position you have held, focus on the missions or skills that will serve you in the position you are targeting.

Example: if you are targeting a sales position, please note that your experience as a switchboard operator has given you a good sense of customer relationship rather than "I have mastery of making appointments".

* All about the resume.

* Why do I have to put a title on my resume?
