Topic: A study on the factors leading to outsourced employees facing discrimination in the banking industry

Order Description

This reason I chose to expand on my topic is that we live in a world where discrimination, has a major effect on individuals who are well educated, talented with exceptional potential just imagine an BBA graduate in a call centre as a customer service agent, or a Chief Financial Accountant in a position of a Pre Screener/Checker or a MBBS/PHD. in a position of a Nurse and they are the one who never get noticed or given an opportunity to bring out the best in them just because they didn’t give a bribe or they we not a close reference or a relative/friend now this act is called favouritism.

Believe me when I say this discrimination takes place in every organization everywhere you go and not mandatorily on gender/sex, race or age but even in a working environment, my take on this assignment is based on outsourced staff who for their colour, size and appearance in the banking industry fighting to survive another day in their organisation.

I intend to throw light to my topic by investigating first within my own organisation which is a bank and may come to no surprise that the banking industry is one of the most sensitive and crucial industries. I will conduct my research thru various methods of questionnaires, collections of resumes, work experience reference letters and close interaction with my Human Resource department and those individuals who would like to voice out their feelings and struggles that will help me determine their level of education to enable me to come to a conclusion that talent is there but is not being noticed, opening are there but the Manager recruit candidates who are relatives and from their friends circle who have no banking background, for a good superior will always ensure the best interest of their staff my research will be furthered investigated thru questionnaires and personally visiting people in distress gathering information for the internet, daily newspapers etc. My research is done on in a hope that talent, experience, hard work and passion for work is only taking into consideration.
