Introduction
The organisation chosen in the course of this study is known as Rescue and Care
for Wildlife. The primary role of this organisation is to arrange rehabilitation for
the injured and deserted wild animals. Besides, the arrangements for feeding and
hospitality of these wild lives are also organized by this organisation. To meet the
need of looking after of large number of animals, many resources are required to
be employed for this job role. However, due to dearth of sufficient resources, the
organisation engages volunteer employees. Moreover, the retention of resources is
a tough work that requires proper strategies (Ahammad et al. 2016). The
employee retention is also get affected by the background of the employees as
each employee belong to different background and culture. To control various
human resources, the concept of bringing diversity in the workplace has been
introduced in the organisation. However, the diversity in the workplace brings
many barriers in front of the organisation like language barrier. The
discrimination in the age, professional qualification, and social class invites many
sorts of challenges in professional field. This leads to the rupture of the
relationship of the employees and it ultimately reduces the productivity of the
organisation along with hampering the motivation of the employees (Msengeti
and Obwogi 2015). The low productivity maligns the company’s reputation and
brand value. The unavoidable need to address the challenges and to find the

solution is necessary. The research is a contribution towards finding the solution
of these challenges. Besides, the research paper aims to identify a list of factors
like recognition of leadership approaches, analysing volunteer faithfulness, and
measuring the effects of diversity in the workplace. These will contribute to
enhance the productivity of the organisation and also improve the percentage of
employee retention.
The industry partner is a consultancy firms that provide human resources to such
organisations based on the requirements.The name of the industry partner is JBS.

consisting of 12000 resources working in this organisation.

Review
The loyalty of the employees who are working in an organization have close
relation with the diversity in a workplace and the same affects them (Beltrán-
Martín and Bou-Llusar, 2018). There are a lot of factors which create diversities
in a workplace some of which are gender discrimination, Caste system, age
disparities and similar other factors. The interpersonal relations are important
factors of motivation for employees and the same gets affected by such
diversities and this leads to demotivating the employees of the business (Bryson,
2018). The team work and unity among the employee are affected due to such
causes and thus its affects the overall operations. This can be recognized as the
main reason for an employee short staying in an organization.
