1.1 Analyse existing practices and information relating to diversity
R1. Identify and explain seven internal facts in relation to diversity within WTA
There are various external factors which impact the working of WTA as diversity firm. Some of these
factors are mentioned below:
Innovation: Innovation is that internal factor which directly impacts the diversity within the
organisation. This can be seen from the example of WTA, where organisation is performing innovative system
to increase the contribution of women within the organisation so that it can improve its productivity as well as
facilitate innovation because women's are more innovative and bring innovative ideas within the organisation
which directly impact the performance of the firm. This will also improve the creativity within the organisation
and will help in mental development of different employees by maintaining diversity and firm with the
encouraging women by increasing their contribution.
Employees: Employee within the organisation play major role in internal factors related to the diversity
within the WTA, this is because organisation is performing with diversified work force which is helpful to the
organisation in managing different functions as well as using a training and development programs within the
firm so that it can achieve effectiveness in both males and females workers on different jobs to achieve the
positive outcomes as well as bring innovative idea within the organisation. Effective training and development
program help the organisation in achieving its goals and objective because trained workers will perform
effectively on different jobs and achieve the best possible outcomes.
Company culture: Company culture is also internal factors which impact the diversity of the
organisation. In relation to WTA, organisation is performing at larger level where it is required to maintain a
proper culture within the firm because by use of positive culture within the firm organisation can easily promote
the conflict free environment where the diversity within the organisation can be maintained. for this
organisation use different policies related to conflict management where manager try to solve conflict by
personal interaction and increase the tradition and heritage culture within the organisation.
Productivity: Productivity within the organisation also a factor which impact the diversity within the
organisation. This can be seen from the example of WTA, where organisation follow effective diversity within
the form so that it can manage different employees according to the needs and requirement of the organisation
and fulfil its obligation by identifying their skills and ability and increasing the productivity by managing their
skills and ability according to the requirements of the task. Diversity play important role here by managing the
individuals according to their abilities where women are signed with the works which require less physical
performance where men are a signed with the work which require high physical requirements.
Structure: Structure also impacts the organisation diversity program internally because diversity is
directly dependent on the structure followed by the organisation. In context of WTA, organisation is following
flexible structure which promote diversity within the organisation because changing policies and procedures
within the firm will directly impact The functioning of different individuals within the organisation as well as
also helpful in maintaining working conditions favourable to both kind of workforce. This will increase the

chances of success within the organisation and maintains a working environment which can be helpful in
developing effective communication and achieving the goals and objective.
Physical and Mental Disabilities: Physical and mental disabilities are also internal factors which
impact the diversity within WTA, this can be seen that there are various organisation policy which are followed
by the firm to manage the physical and mental disability of different individuals related to their health
conditions. health condition impact the performance of an individual directly because if a person is healthy then
it will work with maximum productivity within the firm as well as chances related to conflict because of change
in interest will also be decreased. This enable organisation to improve its functioning and maintain up diversify
its workforce which is managed accurately.
Generation Gaps: Generation gap is also internal factors which impact on the organisations
performance related to diversity within the firm. A firm can manage diversity by reducing the generation gap.
In relation to WTA, organisation follow different policies where it recruiter both new and all employees so that
form can manage the talent within the organisation by combining the effort of old employees and new
employees. By this combination organisation will achieve its goals and objective because old persons have
great experience and new people have energy to perform within the organisation for achieving the goals and
objectives.
R2. Identify and explain seven external facts in relation to diversity in the Australian workplace
Government policy: Diversity within the organisation is directly impacted by the external factors
related to the government policies which can be seen within the Australian work place like Master builder
Australia. Master builder Australia is also facing various challenges to diversity within the organisation because
Australian government of the policy of no discrimination where organisation has to employ both male and
female staff within the firm. This directly impacts the diversity within the firm because organisation has to
adopt the policy of employing both male and female for different jobs.
Investor: These are also important part of the fact related to the diversity which impacts the diversity
externally. This is because diversity is directly related to increasing the productivity within the organisation by
managing the conflict and resources in an appropriate manner so that each and every individual can work within
the organisation. This will directly impact the investors’ interest within the firm and lead to influence of
investor on the diversity. If organisation following new and innovative concept then it can attract large number
of investor within the firm which will help company in running it's different operations and will also increase
the trend towards the managing diversity within the firm.
Creditors: These are also the factor which impact on the organisations diversity concept because these
are those external factors which are directly related to the organisation to supply the goods and services to the
firm for producing and functioning different operations. It is liability of the manager within the organisation to
maintain proper environment for the creditors and for managing this organisation has to maintain a diversify
their workforce which can work in the direction of satisfy the needs and requirements of creditors and
