Diversity Policy and Procedures Briefing Report 2023

Diversity policy and procedures
briefing report
, Action Plan and Questionnaire
Aus Australia

Introduction
• The purpose of this report is to
analyse the diversity policy of the
Aus Accounting Company and the
diversity procedure and thereby
discuss and describe procedures for
the organisational change procedure.

Impacts of Diversity
• Workplace diversity fosters mutual respect among
employees. Whether employees work in groups or
teams comprised of co-workers with varied work
styles, disabilities or who represent different
cultures or generations, a synergistic work
environment becomes the norm.
• Many members of the workforce have been
marginalized due to racism, ageism and
discrimination against people with disabilities. Not
only is this discrimination unethical and illegal, it
also has serious economic consequences.

Benchmarks and other measurement indicators
• It is estimated that overall productivity is reduced by
about 2% as a result of psychological violence alone.
• Signs of negative financial and productivity
implications are increasingly common, with higher
absenteeism rates, ill health and early retirement,
high staff turnover and increased insurance
premiums.
• Cost estimates reveal considerable financial gains in
reducing workplace violence.
• Evidence shows that both physical and psychological
violence have serious implications for health and
well-being.
