genetic information in the workplace  

Definition

  • Although genomic information is not yet widely applied in the business world, rapidly growing knowledge about the workings of our genes has the potential to give businesses fuller information about the future, as well as the current, health of the individuals with whom they deal. People's genetic condition—acquired either through inheritance or mutation—affects whether they are disposed to manifest symptoms of various kinds of illnesses.
