The book teaches employers how to run a “tight ship”—a productive, efficient, profitable business consisting of employees who make their best efforts—without violating the discrimination laws. Utilizing legal sources, practical tips, and, most interestingly, biblical sources, the book helps employers prevent discrimination in the workplace and reduce the number and dollar amount of lawsuits brought by employees against employers. It is an excellent guide not only for employers but also for employees and business students, teaching them how to live a personal life and work life that no employer would discriminate against. The book provides excellent, innovative, practical tips on how to prevent race discrimination, gender discrimination, age discrimination, disability discrimination, sexual orientation discrimination, and some other types of discrimination in the workplace. The book answers, or tries to answer, some of the most perplexing questions in human resource management today: Should employers think about the race and skin color of their employees, or should employers be race-blind and color-blind? Should employers be more lenient with aging and disabled employees than with other employees, or treat everyone the same? Are laws that protect gays from discrimination in the workplace consistent with the Bible? How does a CEO’s personal spending habits affect employees’ attitudes towards the company? Should employers treat men and women differently, or the same? How do topics such as dating, sex, domestic violence, marriage, and pregnancy impact employer-employee relations? When a law is unfair to an employer, what can the employer do about it? What can employers do to reduce legal expenses? This book answers, or tries to answer, these important questions.
