Answer 1

Companies lose, on average, two-thirds of the discrimination cases brought against them.

Most employees know that it is hard for a company to be able to prove they are not guilty in a discrimination case. Workplace discrimination is one of the most common ways that a business can get in trouble, even if they weren't in the wrong. It's hard to prove that discrimination didn't take place and that is a factor in which businesses lose their case.
