BONA FIDE OCCUPATION QUALIFICATION

Bona Fide Occupation Qualification are rules that act as a guide to employers during employee hiring promoting and retention (Dreher and DOUGHERTY, 2007).BFOQ are an important concept in human resource management hence relevant to this coursework. Even if when this principal are applied in another setting would be termed as discriminatory and violation of laws pertaining employment The BFOQ assist in setting the standard required to hire employee in a accordance to the organization goals and objectives. The proper implementation of BFOQ help avoid incidences of having incompetent workers in an organization but the failure of not implementing well-defined BFOQs lead to major difficulties for any organization or even discrimination suit against the employer.

The principle of BFOQ can be linked to disparate treatment in any organization since it allows an organization to come up with qualification in accordance to its need geared toward the goals and objective of the organization. The BFOQ can become a source of race gender or nationality if applied by employers.an organization may set discriminatory qualification toward a certain group of the employee. For example in a prison setting the administration may recognize that female prisoners prefer only female guards in their cell and this may lead to discrimination during hiring in this organization.
BFOQ goes against the goals of ADA(American with Disability act of 1990) which main aim is to protect people with disabilities.as ADA focus on eradicating any form of discrimination against people with disability, BFOQ provides an avenue that organization can introduce rules that discriminate the disabled person when hiring workers.
