employees face discrimination that is regardless of cultural background and other related factors.

An employee delivers the best if they feel secure in their job. It is the duty of the management to offer job
security to their employees.

The management should support and encourage the employees to take initiatives in an organization. It
will help them to increase their interest and worth.

It is the responsibility of the management to motivate their employees and be supportive of each other
regularly. Developing trust and mutual understanding will lead to a positive outcome and work
environment.
